Sony Reveals Last-Minute PlayStation Showcase Ahead Of Summer Game Fest
Just when it seemed like Sony might be ditching the not-E3 festivities this year, it announced a new 40-minute State of Play will be airing tomorrow on June 4. The PlayStation showcase arrives in a packed week that includes the launch of the Switch 2, Summer Game Fest Live on Friday, and the Xbox summer showcase on Sunday. It feels like the gaming days of yore. Almost. What can we expect from this new State of Play livestream? Sony was cagier than usual. 'Watch live for news and updates on must-play games coming to PS5,' the PS Blog reads. 'The show highlights a selection of great games from creators across the globe.' Normally the company calls out VR games as well, so maybe this means the show will be strictly focused on upcoming PlayStation 5 releases. Despite Grand Theft Auto 6 being delayed until May 2026, it's becoming a decently packed fall for Sony between first-party exclusives like Ghost of Yotei and Marathon and third-party blockbusters like Borderlands 4. Mafia: The Old Country and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater also drop in August. Could there be a few more big fall releases that we haven't officially heard about yet? Resident Evil 9 is already heavily rumored to be appearing at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. Maybe it'll get previewed first by Sony. The rest of Sony's first-party plans remain up in the air. Following the cancellation of a number of live-service projects, including games being worked on at Bend Studio and Bluepoint Games, as well as the recent apparent setback of FairGame$, it's not clear what releases PlayStation Studios might have ready to go in the next 12 months. Insomniac'sWolverine game was first revealed back in 2021 but lost its creative director just last year. Maybe we'll see more of Housemarque's Saros, a new sci-fi roguelite in the vein of Returnal. The State of Play will begin streaming on YouTube and Twitch starting at 5:00 p.m. ET. . For the latest news, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Housemarque's Next Sci-Fi Shooter Is Called Saros And It Might Be More Forgiving Than Returnal
I knew Saros was a Housemarque game the second its protagonist said, 'But after every death I always come back stronger.' The Finnish studio behind Returnal and a host of excellent arcade shooters is back with a new entry in the same genre scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 in 2026 and I already can't wait. Not much was revealed in the cinematic teaser during Wednesday's PlayStation State of Play showcase, including any actual gameplay. But we did get a sense of Saros' world and stakes, with the main character mentioning endless time loops and an eclipse from which madness, and creepy enemies, both spawn. It seems very much like a spiritual successor to 2021's GOTY roguelike contender Returnal but with an important difference. While that game was pretty punishing run-to-run, Saros will have 'permanent resources and progression.' Every time hero Arjun Devraj (played by Rahul Kohli) respawns, he'll have new weapons and upgrades rather than his arsenal resetting each time. Here's the description: Set on the planet Carcosa under the threat of an ominous eclipse, take on the role of Arjun Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers on a lost off-world colony. SAROS features permanent progression systems, where every death reshapes the world while offering new upgrades to overcome challenges. With a haunting story, deep third-person action, and a grounded performance by Rahul Kohli, SAROS presents the next evolution in Housemarque's gameplay-first experience. Creative director Gregory Louden called it 'the ultimate evolution of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience' and said the game will continue in the third-person action shooter tradition of its predecessor. There's even a slight wink and a nod to Housemarque's signature bullet hell orb patterns it loves killing players with. When the game does arrive sometime in 2026, it will include enhancements for PS5 Pro. Considering the importance of framerate to the genre, that will probably end up being no small thing. Hopefully we get to see some actual gameplay later this year. In the meantime, you can join me in celebrating Housemarque's 30th anniversary by giving Returnal a shot if you haven't already. .

Saros is the next game from Housemarque, coming to PS5 in 2026
Other than a Days Gone remaster, Sony's first State of Play stream of the year was fairly light on first-party games. At least that was the case until the very end of the showcase. The company announced the long-awaited next game from Returnal developer Housemarque. The third-person action title is called Saros, and it stars the always-delightful Rahul Kohli. The actor plays Arjun Devraj, "a powerful Soltari Enforcer searching for answers on a lost off-world colony," per the trailer's YouTube description. The clip shows Arjun waking up on a beach with a gun by his side. "Every time the sun dies, madness reigns," he says as an ominous eclipse occurs. Moments later, a giant being with eight arms and a broken, pointy headpiece emerges from the depths. The creature summons balls of fire in its hands as Arjun readies himself to battle it. Housemarque says Saros is a new game, but it's one that builds on the roguelite foundations of Returnal and its repeatable runs — just in case Arjun saying "After every death, I always come back stronger" in the trailer wasn't clear enough. In this game, your resources and progression persist after each run. You'll have an "evolving set of weapons and suit upgrades" to help upgrade your loadout, though as in Returnal, the world will change after every death.

One other major difference between Saros and Housemarque's last game is that Arjun isn't alone on this planet. Details about other characters in the ensemble cast, the story and gameplay will be revealed later. Sony liked Returnal enough to buy Housemarque and add the developer to its stable of PlayStation Studios, so it'll likely have high hopes for this one. Saros is slated to arrive on PS5 in 2026.
