What is SAROS?

SAROS is the next game from Housemarque, the makers of the critically acclaimed Returnal.

SAROS is the ultimate evolution of developer Housemarque's trademark 'gameplay first' experience.

Building on the studio's expertise in explosive action and mysterious storytelling, SAROS is a new adventure set on the lost off-world colony of Carcosa during an ominous eclipse.

You play as Arjun Devraj, performed by Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher), a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. 

After each death you'll face a changed world - but you can permanently upgrade and customise your loadout, enabling Arjun to come back stronger every time.
