While at PAX Aus 2026, PlayStation Australia kindly invited Ryan and Max to have a chat with Gregory Louden (Creative Director, Housemarque) about the upcoming Saros Zenith update.
We also talk about moving from visual effects to gaming, narrative vs gamplay, what Housemarque learnt from Returnal, and (purely for Ryan’s enjoyment) working with HIM frontman Ville Valo on Downward Spiral.
The Saros Zenith update launches later this year, at no added cost for Saros players. It includes Overlord Rush, which sees players battle bosses from the main campaign back to back, while competing with players around the world. A New Game Plus mode called Eclipse Layers brings new modifiers, progression options and other secrets. The update will also introduce new accessibility features, such as a slow game speed option.
