Developer Housemarque has continued to stay busy in its own regard. Earlier this year, it shipped a PlayStation 5 Pro patch for its 2021 release Returnal. Additionally, the Finnish game studio shared that it is also working on a new title. In February, Housemarque unveiled Saros – a follow-up to its previous release with an entirely new storyline to follow.
In the time after, Housemarque has pressed lightly on the things that makes Saros stand out. According to an report in April, Saros is Housemarque’s most expensive release. The title is said to cost close to Alan Wake II – a project priced around €70 million. Additionally, the official release date for Saros was revealed this fall to land on March 20th.
But at The Game Awards, Housemarque & Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed a new April date for Saros. You can watch the new gameplay trailer in the video below:
“In our trailer at The Game Awards we focus on our mysterious and monstrous story and show how we are taking things to the next level. This is our biggest and most ambitious story yet at Housemarque. […] Following today’s deeper look at our storytelling, we also wanted to share an update on our launch timing. To make sure that Saros exceeds our vision, Saros will now release on April 30, 2026.”
Creative director Gregory Louden continues: “For fans of Selene Vassos from Returnal, the one and only Jane Perry is back as Sheridan Bouchard. Jerome Jackson is performed by fellow Aussie Ben Prendergast (Tyr in God of War: Ragnarok), Sebastian Torres is performed by David DeSantos, and you can hear the fantastic Adriyan Raye (South of Midnight) and Shunori Ramanthan in our trailer too. We have even more amazing cast members to share, they have all been exceptional.”
How excited are you for Saros?
Saros will launch on April 30, 2026 for PlayStation 5.
