The Game Awards 2025 brought us a new trailer for Saros, developer Housemarque's spiritual successor to the excellent Returnal, giving a taste of the story and action in the upcoming roguelike. You might not have noticed, however, that the release date at the end of the trailer is new, and a month delayed from the game's previously announced launch day.

Saros is now set to launch April 30, 2026, and while the trailer doesn't acknowledge the delay, that's just over a month after the previously announced March 20 release. Deep in a PlayStation Blog post, the devs say the delay is to make sure the game "exceeds our vision," but they do not elaborate further.

This story is developing.
