The Saros: Digital Deluxe Edition provides a comprehensive package. It includes the core PS5 game, the 48-hour Early Access starting April 28, and a collection of special armor suits. These are the Astra Armor (inspired by Returnal), the Onryo Armor (inspired by Ghost of Tsushima), and the Midgard Armor (inspired by God of War). The preorder bonus Hand of Shore Armor is also part of this bundle.

In Saros, you step into the combat suit of Arjun Devraj, a Soltari Enforcer stranded on the dangerous alien planet Carcosat during a malevolent eclipse. The game inherits the roguelite structure of Returnal but introduces a more aggressive playstyle. Devraj’s Soltari Shield can absorb incoming enemy fire, converting that energy to fuel his powerful weapons and gadgets. Death is not the end; players get opportunities to defy it and jump back into the fray, gradually unlocking new abilities and suit upgrades to empower subsequent attempts.
For those curious about Housemarque’s signature style, Returnal serves as an excellent preview and is currently available at a discounted price. It showcases the developer’s talent for blending stunning visual design, a mind-bending narrative, and intense, arcade-style bullet-hell combat that provides a deeply satisfying challenge.

High on Life 2 promises more bizarre, first-person humor as players battle alien pharmaceutical corporations, launching on February 13, 2026. RPG enthusiasts can anticipate Tales of Berseria Remastered arriving on PS5 and Switch 2 on February 27.
