AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Housemarque shares a new behind the scenes video for their upcoming action roguelite Saros, focusing on character creation and animation pipelines.
Housemarque has dropped a new behind the scenes video for Saros, giving players a closer look at how the studio is building its upcoming third person action roguelite. Titled Bringing Our Characters to Life, the featurette focuses on the craft and technical pipelines behind the game's cast. For a studio renowned for fast paced arcade action, shifting attention to character depth signals an intriguing evolution in their design philosophy.
While Housemarque made its name with the relentless bullet hell mechanics of Returnal and Resogun, Saros looks to expand on that mechanical foundation by leaning harder into narrative identity. The new footage highlights the animation and design processes shaping the project, offering fans a glimpse of the talent driving the development. It is a welcome approach for a community that values both high skill ceiling gameplay and memorable world building.
As the hype cycle continues, developer diaries like this offer a grounding perspective on what goes into modern AAA production before the marketing noise takes over. We will be watching to see how these character foundations translate into the signature replayable loops Housemarque is famous for. You can check out the original video feature over at IGN South Africa to see the behind the scenes footage for yourself.
