Saros Does Something I Wish Returnal Did 5 Years Ago

Sony’s February 2026 State of Play gave viewers a look at gameplay for SAROS, a new game that shares a lot in common with Returnal. Like Returnal, SAROS features challenging enemies, intricate level design, and a roguelike structure where you improve your character with modifiers and perks after each attempt. However, SAROS expands on this formula with a much more open world – the world of Carcosa – allowing players to quickly travel to any unlocked area and offering more accessible replayability features than were available in Returnal.
