Saros, a Single-Player PS5 Exclusive Game from Housemarque, Goes on Pre-Order in India Ahead of April 30th Launch

Saros is a third-person, sci-fi roguelite action game from Housemarque, the creators of Returnal, releasing on April 30, 2026. Ahead of its release, it is now available for pre-order in India via Amazon India, the PlayStation Online Store, and Flipkart.

Here is more to it.

Saros – Pre-Orders Started

On Flipkart and Amazon, the standard edition is available for pre-order in a physical disc format, with a price tag of ₹5,199. Meanwhile, its digital version is available for pre-order via the online PlayStation Store. Apart from the standard edition, there is also a Deluxe Edition, which is only available on the PlayStation online store.

Those who pre-order any edition of SAROS will receive the Hands of Shore Armour. Alternatively, players can choose the Digital Deluxe Edition, which offers 48-hour early access along with three Enforcer suits inspired by Returnal, Ghost of Yōtei, and God of War.

What is this game all about?

Based on the trailer released, the game provides a deeper look at the gameplay in Saros.

The gameplay of Saros is designed around fast-paced “bullet-hell” style combat, where players must rely on quick movement, precise evasion, and aggressive attacks to survive against waves of alien enemies. The game takes place on the mysterious planet Carcosa, a haunting world that constantly changes and creates an unpredictable environment for each encounter.

Another key element of the gameplay is its “Come Back Stronger” system. Unlike traditional roguelikes, where progress resets after each death, Saros allows certain upgrades—such as weapon and suit improvements—to carry over between runs. As a result, each attempt contributes to the player’s overall progression.

During combat, players can also use a special defensive ability known as the Soltari Shield. This shield not only blocks incoming projectiles but also absorbs their energy, which can later be redirected into powerful counterattacks against enemies.

Alongside the intense action, the game also places emphasis on narrative. It presents an emotional, character-driven story with cosmic horror themes, following the journey of the protagonist Arjun Devraj, who is voiced by Rahul Kohli (whose television credits include Midnight Mass, Twilight of the Gods and The Fall of the House of Usher).
