PS5 SAROS - Cinematic Action Game

PS5 SAROS

COME BACK STRONGER

Discover the personal and dark story of a man destined to exist on a world capable of corrupting everything it touches.

Set on the polymorphic planet of Carcosa, SAROS is a standalone cinematic action game, developed by Housemarque. The story follows the adventures of Arjun Devraj, a Soltari Enforcer relentlessly seeking answers, driven by his sense of loss and remorse. Entangled in both magnificent and terrifying horrors, Arjun searches for the truth behind the Eclipse phenomenon: a sinister force capable of distorting the world, including everyone living on that planet.

As Arjun fights his way through Carcosa's mysterious biomes, his adventure will lead him deeper into the splendor of a fallen civilization, as well as many uncomfortable truths about his past. Along his journey, Arjun will encounter unlikely allies, friendships to mend, and revelations far more devastating than he could have ever imagined.
