Step behind the scenes to highlight one of the pillars of the SAROS universe: its characters. This latest trailer marks the first time Housemarque shows a deeper look at the ensemble cast: the faces, voices, and performances anchoring the story of SAROS.

SAROS is coming to PS5® on April 30, 2026. Pre-order now.

Kinda surprised with the marketing of this niche title that still has 4 months left to release.

Sony's marketing seems all over the place, nowdays. GoY is doing good because of GoT and word of mouth. The marketing was horrible, imo.

Knowing that the main character is based on Alana's Pearce boyfriend turned me off completely.

I dont want these people in videogames

I'm actually praising it in the case of Saros, if that was not clear. Last big spot at February SoP, opening the September SoP while being marketed around it, TGA, and now this.

Ignore thread. Don't buy game. Super simple

I hope this marks a change, but who knows.

I also think Sony no longer sees Housemarque as a niche indie developer. With the investment they've made in the studio over the last few years and what the budget for this probably is, they're going to try and make the most back. We're a long ways from Resogun lol.

Returnal and Saros are low budget AAA so it's normal that Sony pushes its marketing. Besides, having great gameplay and good critical reception, Sony may believe that at some point they transition from niche to moderately popular.

Super looking forward to this, returnal was prob Sony's best game this gen.

I'm with you but it just looks like more Returnal and that's a good thing

While he's a loser in real life, like most of hollyweird.

He is a good actor,

besides that Hill house sequel that was hot shite where he was like a lesbian cuck butler.

So like, by definition the marketing was good then.
