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.

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!
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.
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.
@StitchJones Yup when you see "A Sony studio" in the trailer you already know it's going to be top quality (that's not even being a glazer), literally couldn't find a single flaw with Yotei (performance wise) and I expect the same for Saros and Wolverine.
@StitchJones Intergalactic.. a showstopper? 🤔 I hope you’re right, but I’d manage my expectations for the bald headed astronaut chick lol
Looks cool but not big on games that you gotta replay the same parts over and over by design.
This game can't get here fast enough. I haven't played a Housemarque game in like, two days. I feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Housemarque won't miss, I have full faith in them after Returnal, which was amazing
Need a wallpaper of that shot of The King in Yellow (?) looking majestic on his throne at 0:44.
Finally got the platinum for Returnal a few days ago, now waiting in sweet anticipation for Saros.
@8thDoctor I've been saying he should be on the steelbook... shame there isn't one
@AnginaPectoris lol no I think she’s actually pretty.. she was in TLoU TV show.. but the way the direction of the show went gave me little to no hope for Neil Druckmann’s ‘vision’ for future games..
Why’s it gotta be about sex tho? 🤣 I’m a guy.. you think bald headed punk girls offend me??? Lmao
Edit: Reading your other comments on here sounds like YOU need to get laid ffs lol
@StitchJones lol the internet is fun.. you 2 should meet up and goon over some Neil Druckmann photos 😘
@StitchJones Kinda looks like Joel!! 😭
I hope i'm wrong but i have this feeling that Pragmata hype gonna affect Saros sales. Both are new IP, sci-fi, male protag, and TPS although Saros looks much faster and challenging. Casuals will grab Pragmata considering the hype and more friendly gameplay.
For now i can only say good luck to Housemarque.
Got the Deluxe version downloaded and ready for launch 😁.
@WolfyTn Imagine judging a game because you can't get off on the main character.
@1970sGamer Are you seriously suggesting that Tati Gabrielle is "ugly?"
I see it didn't take long for the comments section on Sony first party games to get.... weird. Any who I am super hyped for SAROS. Waiting for the reviews in a few hours to decide if I get Digital Deluxe or Regular.
Returnal was a masterpiece (personal Game of the Generation) for those willing to have the patience to learn it's mechanics. If SAROS can keep the difficulty while being more accessible and tell a more in-depth story it could surpass Returnal.
Also, it seems like Playstation big wigs are really confident on Twitter.
