Saros Zenith Update Adds New Game Plus and Boss Rush Mode

Housemarque has officially released the free Zenith update for Saros on PlayStation 5, introducing New Game Plus, a dedicated boss rush mode, additional gameplay modifiers, and expanded accessibility features.

Available starting October 19, 2026, the update aims to increase replayability while giving newcomers more control over the game's challenging combat.

According to Housemarque's announcement on the official PlayStation Blog, one of the biggest additions is Overlord Rush, a new mode that challenges players to defeat powerful bosses from the main campaign.

The mode features three sets: Incursion, Ascension, and Totality. The first two contain three bosses each, while Totality requires players to defeat all eight Overlords consecutively.

Online leaderboards allow players to compare their performances globally, including rankings filtered by their selected main weapon.

The update also introduces Eclipse Layers, a New Game Plus experience unlocked after completing the main campaign. Players return to Carcosa with altered rules and increasingly difficult challenges.

As players progress, protagonist Arjun gains a golden crown that grows larger depending on the difficulty modifiers selected. The mode also introduces 12 collectible Visions that reveal additional details about the game's world.

Zenith adds 20 gameplay modifiers, including 10 Protection Modifiers that make encounters more manageable and 10 Trial Modifiers designed to increase difficulty.

New accessibility features include adjustable game speed, automatic firing, high-contrast visuals, and motion-based aiming using the DualSense controller.

The Saros Zenith update is available now at no additional cost to existing owners on PS5.
