The Returnal developers showcased gameplay from their new game Saros at the State of Play yesterday. One person is particularly excited: the actor of the main character.
What game is it? It is the game Saros. Sony provided a gameplay glimpse yesterday, on September 24, 2025, during their State of Play. The game was developed by Housemarque, who are also responsible for the game Returnal, and it will be released on March 20, 2026.
The PS5 exclusive game follows the main character Arjun Devraj, who is a Soltari Enforcer and is on a quest to find a loved one.
Similar to Returnal, death in this game does not mean the end, but a new, individual chance. The world changes after each demise, but at the same time, Arjun Devraj’s equipment can be upgraded.

“This is so surreal”
Who is the actor? In a short TikTok, the actor Rahul Kohli shares his excitement about his role in the game. He portrays the main character Arjun Devraj with body and voice.
His positive excitement is palpable in the video. The British actor points to the television behind him, on which he has the PS5 store page for Saros open. He says, “Look! This is so surreal! This is wild. Look, Mom, that’s me!”

Rahul Kohli has previously only appeared in film or television productions, but not in a video game. For example, he starred in the Netflix series Midnight Mass and the film The Life of Chuck.
It’s no wonder he is so excited about his role as an action hero that players can control themselves.
That a fixed role in a video game is not always positive is proven by the case of MindsEye. MindsEye was a flop, and the actor Alex Hernandez, who played the lead role, received some of the criticism from players.
