Now exactly one week away from its PS5 release (or five days if you get the Deluxe Edition), Sony has shared the Saros launch trailer. It features story scenes and a lot of action, a lot unseen before today, so beware of potential teasing plot spoilers. Catch it above.
The trailer includes clips of areas and locations that do not look particularly native to the planet of Carcosa, suggesting team Housemarque has crafted an intriguing narrative in a similar vein to Returnal. To tell the alien story, the developer recruited graphic novelist Ram V, who helped shape the characters and the world of Saros.
Creative director Gregory Louden explained: "Ram’s approach to cosmic horror, authenticity and his perspective helped us shape Arjun and Nitya as living and breathing characters."
Our full Saros PS5 review will be published on the site tomorrow. Until then, let us know how you're feeling about Saros in the comments below.

Goddamn, this is looking nice and polished.
Housemarque never misses!
Look fantastic! Probably won't play it at launch - I have too many other games to get to - but might buy it to support the team and more games like this.
I couldn’t possibly be more hyped. Bring it on, already!
Looks alright.
I'll be waiting for a Housemarque game that isn't roguelike.
@Dalamar Well you can play Resogun Matterfall Dead Nation Alienation or Nex Machina just to name a few.
Saros looks incredible everytime you see it.word up son
@Areus already did.
Already got it preordered and downloaded. I was a huge fan of Returnal so I hope this is equally good.
This game is going to be amazing. Returnal was an excellent game despite my apprehensions about the genre. I have no reason to doubt Housemarque being able to make Saros even better.
Not for me personally, but I’ve got plenty to be getting on it and hope others enjoy it!
@Dalamar technically not roguelikes. They're roguelites.
After trying and hating returnal, I'll be giving this a miss.
Still gunna wait for reviews and gameplay to see if regular people can play this too. It does look stunning though.
I was a big fan on returnal but imo im not too sure how i feel about when you die in this game you start off where you left off. Thats what made returnal thrilling for me.
Already installed and ready to go. Returnal was incredible and im sure Saros will be even better.
Dude I can't wait another 7days. The game is prob ready, day1 patch and all. Just drop the game now please!!!!!!
@Oram77 This is why I laugh when dudes on here complain that Sony dev's take 5 to 7yrs to put out games. I'd gladly put in the wait when we get games like TLOU, Saros/Returnal, Yotei and we all know Intergalactic is gonna be a showstopper!!!! I won't even get into Insomniacs epic offerings, we all know the deal.
