Developer Housemarque has unveiled Zenith, a free update coming to its excellent shooter Saros.
Coming later in 2026, the update adds a whole bunch of new content and features that seem designed for replayability once you've conquered the main experience.
Here's the announcement:
Overlord Rush is basically a boss rush mode in which you fight all the big baddies back-to-back. This mode features online leaderboards, so it's a score-based mode to test your skills and compare them against other players.

Next up is Eclipse Layers, which is Saros' version of New Game+ mode.
Once you've finished the game the first time, you can go back to the beginning and play through a tougher version of the game. Eclipse Layers allows you to further progress Arjun's capabilities and equip new Carcosan Modifiers — plus there are new secrets to discover and Trophies to earn.
Finally, the Zenith update adds more accessibility features to the game. These include high-contrast visuals, gyro aiming, and a slow game speed option.
It all sounds great to me, and a perfect excuse to dive back in. There's no firm date yet, but I imagine it isn't too far off.

Put it simply, yes I'm ready for this update.
Gyro aiming is the big win here!
Hell yes!
I want Returnal style multiplayer
Here's hoping it gets some of the love it deserves. They should consider a significant price cut. Let people give it a chance.
Great news! An excuse to go back and play more of this can only be a good thing
My theory is that biggest problem this game has is people refusing to try it out due to how burnt they got on Returnal difficulty.
However, Saros is a far more configurable and therefore accessible experience. It's extraordinary fun, if you give it a go
Oh nice! One of the best games this year imo, the slow game speed will be great for people like my pal who has some mobility issues with his hands but still loves to game when he can.
That’s a nice free update for one of the best of the year!
Nice. I really enjoyed the focus of the Tower of Sisyphus in Returnal, hoping for similar vibes here.
Please win GOTY!!! Please win GOTY!!!
This sounds great. Just when I thought I was done with the game for the foreseeable future it drags me back...
Ive heard thid game is great i just wish there was diffuculty modes
@Dan12836666 There kind of is with the modifiers.
@Dan12836666 there are modifiers, and there is a possibility to disable "balance", which allows all "easy mode" modifiers without penalty. That can, if you wish to do so, make the game very easy. Like beating the game on your first try easy. I wouldn't recommend such extremes, but you can literally dial the game in to the exact difficulty that works for you.
I am currently working my way through this for my first play through and it is awesome.
@Cikajovazmaj thats great
@Enuo brilliant
literally just finished this a week ago. be nice to have a little break then jump back in!
@spcspc unfortunately it doesn't appear we're getting that or a tower mode. At least not anytime soon.
One day may actually buy it, or rent a license as they say now.
On discount. Not really interested for that price it has now.
One of the best PS titles this year! Hope to fine the time to play the Ng+ mode at least!
It is too bad the story was so abysmal as the gameplay is fantastic. I wish they paid a talented writer to tighten up the story and give us a real ending. The ending is so bad that I haven't touched it since I finished the game. None of this stuff looks like much fun. Huge disappointment after the great Returnal.
They were obviously teasing a "Blue" story DLC, but it doesn't look like we will be getting that. Maybe it will be a paid add-on? The Returnal tower DLC was so great.
I wonder what trophies there’ll be… beat new game plus? Why do all Sony games do this. I don’t want to play the damn game again.. Give me a fun trophy..
