If you are wondering whether Saros is actually Returnal 2 under a different name, Housemarque has said that the studio always wanted and intended for Returnal to stand on its own, and that Saros is a new IP created after that game rather than a direct sequel.
In the original reveal, creative director Gregory Louden said the studio knew after Returnal that it had made something special, but decided to create a new IP instead of continuing that story directly.
