Dec. 23 (UPI) -- 2026 brings new games from the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, to superhero epics like Wolverine. Here's UPI's list of the Top 5 video games coming this year.
5. 'Saros' - PlayStation 5
Famed developer Housemarque is back with their second PlayStation 5 exclusive title, Saros. Housemarque is returning to the rougelike action genre here, following the critically-acclaimed Returnal.
At first glance, Saros looks like a sequel to Returnal with similar gameplay elements and its eerie sci-fi setting. What sets Saros apart is Housemarque stating that the game will be just a little bit easier as players will be granted permanent upgrades after each run through the deadly and desert-like planet of Carcosa.
Unlike Returnal, every death in Saros will be valuable to players as you upgrade your loadout and suit parts to come back stronger each time. Anchoring the experience is actor Rahul Kohli (Midnight Mass, The Fall of the House of Usher) who portrays lead protagonist Arjun Devraj. Expect another psychological, mind-bending plot when Saros arrives for the PlayStation 5 on April 30.
