Discover a dark, personal story of a man bound to a world that corrupts everything it touches.

Set on the shape-shifting planet Carcosa, SAROS is a standalone cinematic action experience from Housemarque. The story follows Arjun Devraj, a haunted Soltari enforcer driven by loss, regret and an unrelenting need for answers. Drawn into Carcosa’s violent beauty and cosmic horrors, Arjun searches for the truth behind the Eclipse: a sinister force that distorts the world, and everyone within it.

As he fights his way across Carcosa’s mysterious biomes, Arjun’s journey pulls him deeper into a fallen civilisation, towards unsettling truths about his own past. Along the way, he will encounter unlikely allies, fractured bonds and revelations far more devastating than he imagined.
