Housemarque, the acclaimed studio celebrated for their work on the hit title Returnal, has officially announced a significant milestone for their latest ambitious project: Saros has achieved “gold” status.

This pivotal development signifies that the core production for the new PlayStation 5 exclusive is now complete, and the game is fully prepared for its highly anticipated launch. The master copy of Saros is currently being dispatched for physical disc manufacturing, while the dedicated development team is diligently working on preparing a day-one patch to ensure the best possible player experience upon release.

The announcement assures fans that the game’s premiere is firmly on track, leaving only the anticipation of initial reviews and the availability of pre-loading. Saros is scheduled for a global release on April 30, 2026. However, enthusiasts who opt for the expanded digital edition will be granted a special privilege, allowing them to embark on their journey to the mysterious planet Carcosa two days earlier than the official launch date.
