With Housemarque’s Saros set to launch next week, Sony has dropped a new launch trailer, showcasing exactly what players can expect. It starts rather solemnly with Stack (played by Keone Young) painting scenery of the planet, Carcosa. Suffice it to say that things only get more chaotic from there.
The story centers on Arjun Devraj (Rahul Kohli), a Soltari enforcer on Echelon IV who has arrived on the world to find out what happened to previous expeditions. It’s not long before his allies run smackdab into the Eclipse, which slowly but surely casts a pall on them. Not that Arjun is sitting around, waiting for things to resolve themselves, but instead setting out into the violent world to find someone important to him.
It’s going to be a difficult journey, though. Between all the enemies tossing projectiles, the giant towering bosses that throw even more projectiles, and a mysterious multi-armed entity sitting on a throne (who seemingly channels The King in Yellow), players have their work cut out. Thankfully, there’s an array of armaments, including new Power weapons, to help cut through the noise.
Should we be concerned when Arjun says, “The sun is forever, and so am I?” We’ll have to find out when Saros launches on April 30th, exclusively for PS5. Check out our feature for all the latest details and head here to learn how it differs from Returnal, Housemarque’s last major shooter.
