Saros<\/a>, the next action game from Returnal developers Housemarque, was one of the tentpole games during yesterday\u2019s State of Play presentation<\/a>. The game stars iZombie and The Fall of the House of Usher actor Rahul Kohli as Arjun Devraj, a soldier investigating a foreign planet full of vicious aliens who will kill him over and over again. Kohli has starred in a few video games, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III<\/a> and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical<\/a>, but this is easily his biggest game role yet, and the dude seems stoked to be there.<\/p>\n

In a post on Bluesky, Kohli laid out how video games have always been part of his hopes and dreams. As a kid, he wanted to make video games. He used to work in a game store, and one of his first acting gigs was in a commercial for LittleBigPlanet on Vita. So really, it\u2019s all been leading up to this point.<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s cliche to say \u201cthis is a dream come true\u201d but in the case of Saros, it really is. My first hobby\/love was gaming. Before I left primary school, we were asked in assembly to tell the school what we wanted to do for a career. I played a VHS of video game trailers and said I wanted to make video games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of my first jobs was working as a sales assistant at Gamestation (the UK equivalent of GameStop). One of my earliest paid acting gigs was a commercial for Little Big Planet on the PS Vita \u2013 I thought I finally made it. My next gig after starring in iZOMBiE was playing Fahz in Gears 5, I didn\u2019t think anything could top that\u2026 until I was approached by Housemarque to play the lead in Saros.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long journey to get here, each moment along the way was special and the final destination isn\u2019t just a career highlight, it\u2019s one of the best moments of my life. Thank you HouseMarque with trusting me with your character, I hope Arjun is everything you asked for. And for the players, see you on March 20th.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s sweet. I was a big fan of Kohli\u2019s performance in The Fall of the House of Usher, so I\u2019m interested to see what he brings to the role of Arjun when Saros comes to PlayStation 5 on March 20. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saros, the next action game from Returnal developers Housemarque, was one of the tentpole games during yesterday\u2019s State…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[107723,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-182462","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-saros","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
