As promised, Housemarque brought a new trailer for its Returnal follow-up, Saros, to The Game Awards today, and it included a release date of April 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

The trailer certainly looked lovely, showing off some gorgeous and haunted landscapes, a lot of psychological trickery, flashy combat, and The Sun. <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Saros was first announced at a State of Play earlier this year as a follow-up to Housemarque’s 2021 roguelite shooter, Returnal. It’s not a sequel per se, but it’s clearly full of that game’s DNA. It stars Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, a man searching for answers on a strange, shifting planet. Creative director Gregory Louden called Saros the “ultimate evolution” of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience.<\/p>\n

We saw a bit more of Saros in September at another State of Play, showing off new features such as “Second Chance” (essentially a free revive) and some of Arjun’s weapons and capabilities, and more of Saros’ setting, the hostile planet Carcosa.<\/p>\n

We gave Returnal an 8\/10 when it came out, saying that “its roguelike runs are too long and it needs a way to save in the middle of them, but Returnal’s third-person shooter action, clever story, and atmosphere are excellent.”<\/p>\n

You can catch up on everything announced at The Game Awards today right here.<\/p>\n
