Speaking for everyone involved in the development and release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we want to thank you, every single one of the fans, for what an unimaginable year of success our game has had in 2025. As a show of thanks, we’re dropping a major content update to the game on PS5 right now (for free!). The largest inclusion here is a brand-new level, “Verso’s Drafts”, featuring new environments to explore, battles to fight, and plenty of surprises to discover. The biome has a very childlike, wonderland-style aesthetic, inspired by Verso’s childhood, but you’ll see more cutscenes that elaborate on this in the update. It goes without saying that Lorien Testard’s musical magic is back too, with new tracks added for the level. Take a look at the Thank You Update Trailer, featuring Verso’s Draft here: Play Video You’ll find a plethora of unlockables in Verso’s Drafts too. There’s 13 new weapons to unlock, some having a similar vibe to the child-like environments in the level (candy scythe, anyone?). 16 additional Luminas are also available to unlock – adding even more customization and options to your combat. There’s also a bunch more costumes and hairstyles for each character, some look very chic, and some… intentionally goofy – I won’t spoil it here, but you might want to try the running animation in some of them. Fans will be delighted to know, after many many requests, that we finally added a photo mode in the game! Not to brag, but it’s a pretty in depth one too you can add filters (33, to be exact) and effects, change the angles, field of view, color grading, and even change the location and colors of the lighting (with 10 fully customizable lights!). Our Senior Gameplay Programmer, Florien Torres, shares his insight: “You will be able to use this during cinematics, which we expect people will get very creative with. With the photo mode camera, you can travel an infinite distance without collision – basically, the team wanted to go all in and give full access to the player, meaning they could access weird locations, even below the map and sort of ‘backstage’.” We’re extremely excited to offer this to our fans and see what masterpieces they will create with these new tools. This isn’t everything of course, there’s many QoL features added that players will appreciate, including adding filters when searching for Lumina’s, being able to save preset Lumina loadouts, and having the option to abandon battles (if you want, no judgement here). We’ve also added more text language support, so the game is more accessible, the new language additions include: Czech, Ukrainian, Mexican Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19, with more planned for the future. You might also catch at the very end of the trailer; an extra challenging surprise awaits! And it won’t be the only challenge for players to overcome – you can expect to find a slew of new boss battles for late-game players within the Endless Tower. Parrying your way up the tower will reward players with all new Pictos, costumes, and a bunch of other gear. We can’t express our gratitude enough, but we hope this update helps express it in some way. Fans can play Verso’s Drafts as part of the new Thank You Update available now on PlayStation 5!

Today, I am stoked to share more about our story, ensemble cast, action gameplay and world building in Saros, coming to PlayStation 5 and enhanced for PlayStation 5 Pro in 2026. We loved having Rahul present Saros at The Game Awards today and in case you missed it you can watch our new trailer below: Play Video Pre-orders for Saros are now live on PlayStation Store. Our story will haunt you Saros is the ultimate evolution of the Housemarque gameplay-first experience. In our trailer at The Game Awards we focus on our mysterious and monstrous story and show how we are taking things to the next level. This is our biggest and most ambitious story yet at Housemarque. Saros is the haunting story of a lost off-world colony on Carcosa under an ominous eclipse. You play as Arjun Devraj, a powerful Soltari Enforcer who will stop at nothing to find who he is looking for. You may have noticed a mysterious corridor and bedroom which you will need to explore. In the interest of protecting our mystery I will let the trailer share what we want to share about our story so you can discover it ahead. Arjun Devraj is performed by the brilliant Rahul Kohli, but he is not alone. We have an incredible ensemble cast of NPCs that deepen Carcosa’s world with their own perspectives and personalities for you to discover. Our ensemble cast pulls you into the world of Saros View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image For fans of Selene Vassos from Returnal, the one and only Jane Perry is back as Sheridan Bouchard. Jerome Jackson is performed by fellow Aussie Ben Prendergast (Tyr in God of War: Ragnarok), Sebastian Torres is performed by David DeSantos, and you can hear the fantastic Adriyan Raye (South of Midnight) and Shunori Ramanthan in our trailer too. We have even more amazing cast members to share, they have all been exceptional. You will meet our ensemble cast of NPCs in the Passage, our hub where you start each run, or in the world where you explore and discover their haunting stories through conversations, Soltari Hologram logs or audio logs. Expect hard- hitting performances from our actors and narrative team at Housemarque to pull you into our new world with Saros. Our goal is to create an emotional, haunting, and powerful character study that explores the cost of what it takes to create a new future. Our Spectacular Bullet Ballet returns It would not be a Housemarque trailer without some bullet ballet. We hope you loved a sneak peak at Prophet and some action gameplay against Carcosan flora and fauna. As Arjun you will have to overcome a variety of hostile creatures and uncover their dark secrets by the end of our cinematic journey. We also showed off a new ability, Parry, where with perfect timing of R1 you can reflect certain projectiles back at enemies, destroying or staggering them. It feels awesome to use and it’s another way we are taking out action to the next level. Digital Deluxe & Pre-Order Editions. 48- hour headstart with Digital Deluxe View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image For players who want the deluxe Saros experience: you will be able to play Saros 48 hours before launch with our Digital Deluxe Edition. This stunning Digital Deluxe art shows some of the ancient murals found in the game and our worldbuilding. View and download image Download the image close Close Download this image For those playing with the Digital Deluxe edition, they will be able to play Saros with our PlayStation Studios celebration suits, featuring Returnal, God of War, and Ghost of Yotei inspired Enforcer suits for Arjun. Playing as Arjun with an ASTRA suit is awesome, and as a huge fan of Sony Santa Monica and Sucker Punch Productions, it’s an honour to have their worlds merged with ours for Digital Deluxe players. For players who pre-order Saros or Saros Digital Deluxe you can unlock the “Hands of Shore Armour”. Come Back Stronger in 2026 Following today’s deeper look at our storytelling, we also wanted to share an update on our launch timing. To make sure that Saros exceeds our vision, Saros will now release on April 30, 2026. We cannot wait to share more about our game, how we push the PS5 hardware, and more from everyone working on Saros. Expect more news next year as we get closer to our launch, with a focus on our “Come Back Stronger” systems, eclipse escalation, and more extended gameplay for you all to enjoy. Saros is the next single-player, cinematic action game from Housemarque and our amazing collaborators. A dream project made by a dream team. Thanks for reading. View the full article
