After returning, Housemarque works actively on Saro. We can say that the studio intends to set the means to impress them. Your PS5 will heat in 2026!
Sony did not miss the sign of the conferences of the year. The publisher therefore recently held a game state to present the upcoming new functions in the PS5 ecosystem. We were therefore surprised to discover a new development license in Housemarque. After returning, the Playstation Studios is actively working on it SarosA new science fiction game. An important detail leads us with its ambitions.
Saros at the same level as a game that hit
Returnal may not be the most emblematic game of the PlayStation. However, he made a beautiful shop window at the beginning of the PS5 and shows the flow ability of this new console. At the same time, he contributed to establishing Housemarque's place among the company's first providers. Therefore Saros will be special Expected in 2026.
Starting the Saros project was not obvious. Ilari KittinenThe owner of Housemarque recently trusted the magazine Helsingin sanomat in this new game.
We don't come to the numbers here. The video game industry is often discreet in the budgets of your productions. For example, Housemarque has never publicly announced, as returning. Again, Ilari remains evasive. Nevertheless, according to the CEO of the studio, the magazine meets that Saros would cost about as much Alan Wake 2Either around 76 million dollars. It is not as much as the 220 million estimated of the last of us 2, but the means showed that it was possible to set the games with three times less means.
You will understand that it is indeed a blanket that is difficult to grasp for yourself. After receiving the support of PlayStation for Returnal, the appearance of the publisher's pavilion has enabled the Housemarque to benefit from even more extensive financial resources. It can easily be derived that the previous roguelite cost much cheaper, Certainly half minimum.
The announcement trailer by Saros, which was presented in the last score, indicated a visually ambitious project. Although it is a kinematic trailer, realism and raving the details is impressive. In the game, the result will probably be less spectacular, but it is definitely very promising for a game in concrete development since 2022. We could be confronted A future blow against PS5.
