Saros is an all-new 3rd person action shooter game that will be released soon on the PS5. At the State of Play 2025, developers of the game showed an extensive gameplay reveal of it, and the developers have promised its viewers that it will take gaming to a whole new level.
The events of Saros take place on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet; one that changes on every death, and offers a wide variety of environments and enemies for you to encounter. The protagonist, Arjun Devraj, explores the planet as a total eclipse nears. Along the way, he finds Nitya Chandran. The stunning environment Arjun explores is that of a lost ancient civilization fueled by the twisted enlightenment of the eclipse.
Arjun’s Soltari advanced combat suit allows him to dash, melee, jump, and more. At the start of every run, you will select your loadout from a mix of Soltari human weaponry and Carcosan alien weaponry. In this video, Arjun is using the Soltari Phosphorous Shotgun to defend himself and melt the hostile machines housed in the lost ancient city. As you can see from our extended gameplay, you can expect spectacular bullet patterns from enemies and brutal weapons to use, which fuel the sci-fi power fantasy.
Power Weapons transform Arjun’s right arm into an eclipse-fuelled weapon, corrupting him in the process. This gives him an alternate, and customizable, way to deal devastating damage to hostiles.
Saros is set to be released for the PlayStation 5 on March 20, 2026. Pre-orders for the game are now available.
