Saros: Zenith adds New Game Plus and boss rush today
Players can slow combat, remap controls and use auto-fire, while Overlord Rush puts all eight Overlords in one continuous gauntlet.
Housemarque’s free Saros: Zenith update became available to Saros owners on October 19, 2026, adding New Game Plus, Overlord Rush and accessibility options. Its changes give players more control over combat while adding new reasons to return after finishing the game. The PlayStation Blog announcement has the full feature breakdown.
Slow Game Speed lets players choose how much to slow the game and whether it activates manually or automatically during combat. Auto-fire handles shooting when a player aims at a hostile, but reloading remains manual, and perfect reloads still require a well-timed button press.
Motion Sensor Aiming joins the existing button-remapping settings.
Zenith adds 10 Protection Modifiers to make the game easier and 10 Trial Modifiers to raise the challenge. Corruption Melee Enhancement converts built-up Corruption into extra damage when a melee strike hits a hostile. Hostile Regeneration offers a tougher trade-off: larger hostiles can recover after weapon damage stuns them, so players need a melee strike to finish them off.
Eclipse Layers is the New Game+ mode, unlocked after clearing Saros. Players must meet a Carcosan Modifier threshold before starting a layer, and the update offers 25 Trials to choose from. Arjun’s crown grows as players take on more Trials and raise their Modifier Balance; higher crown levels reveal additional story text in Visions. Twelve Visions are hidden across Carcosa.
Overlord Rush is a training-simulation boss rush with a leaderboard. Its Incursion and Ascension sets each pit players against three Overlords and can be completed in 10 minutes; Totality puts all eight Overlords into one continuous gauntlet. Players can filter global scores by their chosen Main Weapon.
