Everything You Need to Know About Saros
Saros will take place on the shape-shifting planet of Carosa. The main story will follow Arjun Devraj as he seeks answers on the foreign planet by blasting through enemies. Arjun is a powerful Soltari Enforcer, and he wears a Soltari advanced combat suit that allows him to dash, melee, jump, and more. Here is a quick look at everything revealed about Saros’s gameplay in the new State of Play trailer:
Soltari Shield
A protective shield that can be activated by holding R1. It allows Saros to run into hostile projectiles, absorbing their energy to defend himself.
Carcosan Power Weapon
After absorbing the energy, players can hit back with the new power weapon. This ability allows you to charge up the weapon with energy harvested from projectiles, which can unleash explosive energy at enemies with R2.
Second Chance
Arjun can make a comeback on his first death after discovering the ability to use eclipse corruption energy to rise back up on first death.
New Enemies and Fight Mechanics
Saros comes with an extremely fluid and fast-paced action system that every Returnal player will be well familiar with. Players can expect spectacular bullet patterns from enemies and brutal weapons to use, which fuel the sci-fi power fantasy.
