Housemarque has released the Zenith update for its shooter Saros, introducing several new gameplay features and modes. The update includes a boss rush mode, New Game+ functionality, and additional customization options for players.
The Overlord Rush mode allows players to challenge Saros enemies in a training simulation and compete on global leaderboards. This mode is split into multiple sets, including the Totality gauntlet, which features all eight bosses from Carcosa in one continuous run.
New Game+ introduces Eclipse Layers, which increase difficulty through new rules and deadlier enemies. Players can also utilize 10 new Trial Modifiers, such as Hostile Regeneration, which requires melee finishers on stunned foes. Activating these trials causes Arjun to wear a golden crown and glowing armor, while also unlocking new lore entries known as Visions.
The update also adds accessibility features, including an Auto Fire setting and the ability to slow down projectiles during combat. Players can now configure motion sensor aiming, providing more control over the game's difficulty and input methods.
