In case you missed Housemarque’s other reason to own a PS5 (read: Returnal), Saros is coming soon and looks to take advantage of the same features. A new trailer is available highlighting all of them and how they come into play, starting with 3D Audio support for the pulsing soundtrack and sounds of Carcosa’s monstrosities.
Adaptive trigger support means that each weapon offers a different response, which becomes even more nuanced thanks to Arjun’s barrier. Charging it up may be a simple trigger hold, but unleashing it feels more rhythmic. Of course, it remains to be seen if alternate fire still requires holding L2 down all the way.
Haptic feedback ensures that you’re feeling the response of projectiles raining down on Arjun, not to mention the direction of his dashes. And thanks to the console’s SSD, reloading from death is near-instant. Various new bosses are seen while a mysterious voice claims the sun is “forever.” Probably not the best news for Arjun and his allies as they seek to escape Carcosa’s cycle of death.
Saros is available on April 30th for PS5. Check out this behind-the-scenes video delving deeper into the characters, or learn more about the overall gameplay loop here.
