It has been some time since we last had a marquee, high-budget PlayStation exclusive title. By our count, it was Ghost of Yotei last October. Nonetheless, that ought to change relatively soon, as Saros, the follow-up to Returnal from Housemarque, is about for release on April 30.
That ought to pave the best way for what ought to be an exciting 2026 for PlayStation fans, with Marvel’s Wolverine, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls and Phantom Blade Zero all set for release throughout the 12 months.
For now, we turn our attention to Saros, as ahead of its release, its Trophy list has been shared online, and one in every of the most important things to indicate is the large Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reference right smack in the center.
As compiled on Reddit and Insider Gaming, there is a whopping 45 Trophies for players to gather when the sport launches, a step up from Returnal and its list of 38. At once, all we have now are the Trophy names and numbers, but no word on which of them are Bronze, Silver or Gold. That ought to change inside the following few days as lists fully go live.
So far as the list as an entire is worried, most of it’s pretty par for the course in relation to Trophy hunting, like completing each act, defeating bosses or using certain weapons or abilities.
Nonetheless, one which stuck out is titled “Carcosan Cartographe,” and it’s awarded for “Completing 33 expeditions via World Dial.”
Gee, we wonder where they got that reference from. Surely it is not referencing last 12 months’s Game of the Yr award winner. Still, it could be interesting to seek out out where that inspiration is coming from.
There’s A Few Other Neat References Packed In The List
While the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 reference is probably essentially the most noteworthy of the list, the remainder of Saros has some slightly interesting Easter Eggs which might be value declaring.
For instance, “Bullet Paradise” is awarded for killing 1,995 regular enemies. Housemarque was founded in 1995, in order that’s a reasonably easy reference. Then, “Break The Cycle,” which is awarded after absorbing 2,021 projectiles with the shield, is a direct reference to Housemarque’s last major title, Returnal, which was released in 2021. It is also a reference to the 12 months Sony acquired Housemarque.
As a final note, it looks like Saros can have eight bosses, so it’s sure to be a meatier game than Returnal.
