Saros: the Zenith update will add two modes, but not only that

Housemarque is preparing the follow-up to Saros on PS5. The Zenith update, announced by Sony Interactive Entertainment, arrives in 2026 with two new game modes and a genuine effort on accessibility. Nothing cosmetic here: it directly affects the structure of the end-game.

The piece that's going to get speedrunners and score chasers talking is Overlord Rush. The principle is simple and brutal: chain the base game's Overlord bosses one after another, with no breathing room, with a global leaderboard on the line. Housemarque is clearly going back to its arcade roots - the studio behind Resogun and Nex Machina knows how to handle this kind of format, and it should provide a real endurance test for those who already have the patterns down.

Second addition, Eclipse Layers, a new game+ for players who have already finished Saros and want more of a challenge. It features a toughened-up version of the campaign, new Carcosan Modifiers to customize the difficulty, plus new secrets and trophies to unlock. Enough to seriously extend the lifespan for enforcers who were starting to run in circles.

On the accessibility side, Housemarque is adding extra visual and control options, with no precise detail for now on their exact scope.

No precise date has leaked beyond "2026," and the studio has not communicated on any potential boss rebalancing or bug fixes in this announcement. A trailer accompanies the reveal - we refer you to our dedicated article for its detailed analysis.
