Housemarque lifted the lid on its upcoming roguelite third-person shooter Saros, revealing gameplay for the first time, and it’s only about six months away.
It turns out the Finnish studio isn’t working on the game alone; fellow PS Studios team Nixxes has been supporting development.
The studio confirmed its involvement on social media:
Nixxes is helping out on “key elements of art and gameplay” in Saros, the studio confirms.
The developer is typically renowned as a PC specialist, with the majority of its duties thus far being related to porting Sony’s first-party games to PC.
However, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was Nixxes’ “first big PlayStation content project”, meaning it was the team’s first title with real creative input.
It seems as though Saros is the next step in its evolution; while Housemarque will be leading the charge, Nixxes is supporting in some important aspects.
It looks like the studio is expanding its talents from mainly PC porting to a more rounded and creatively capable developer.
Having said that, we expect Nixxes’ involvement with Saros will only serve to make the inevitable PC release that much smoother when the time comes.
