PS5 "Bullet Ballet" Game Saros Gets a Big Update to Make It Both Easier and Harder, with Optional Slow-Mo Mode and New Game+ a Highlight
Housemarque says the free update adds post-game modes and difficulty options to make Saros more accessible and replayable.
- Developer Housemarque released the Zenith update for PS5 shooter Saros today, aiming to improve accessibility for new players and replayability for veterans.
- Originally launched on PS5 in April, Saros faced lower initial sales than Housemarque's previous game, Returnal, which the developer attributed to the console-exclusive release.
- The update introduces the 10-minute Overlord Rush boss-mode, Eclipse Layers for New Game Plus, and a Slow Game Speed option to help players navigate intense combat.
- Housemarque said it was "always wary" about toning down its games, stating the team "didn't want to compromise the combat system of Saros by reducing the projectiles that put the 'bullet' in 'bullet ballet'."
- Interested players can purchase the game for $20 off on the PlayStation Store until October 22, as Housemarque indicated "this is just the start of the discussion" regarding future updates.
