Housemarque Releases Free 'Zenith' Update for Saros

The studio says the update extends post‑campaign play with new challenge modes and makes combat easier to access for more players.

Overview

  • Housemarque released the Saros: Zenith update on Monday, October 19, 2026, and it is available now as a free download for all PS5 owners.
  • The update introduces Eclipse Layers, a New Game+ system that uses new armour-matrix nodes and requires Carcosan Modifiers to unlock progressively harder layers.
  • Overlord Rush is a new boss‑rush mode that splits bosses into sets and includes online leaderboards so players can compare runs.
  • Zenith adds 20 new Carcosan Modifiers, a crown-linked collectible progression for Arjun, and new trophies to expand goals and rewards for replaying the game.
  • Accessibility options now include slow game/projectiles, auto-fire, auto-aim, gyro aiming, and high-contrast visuals, a move intended to lower barriers and broaden the player base while sustaining community engagement.
