The characters you encounter in the campaign are also quite interesting. These aren’t grizzled characters deep in their criminal careers, but rather are at the start of their journey. It was important they had the raw skills needed to start a criminal organization, but they also needed to start from the beginning. When creating the new characters, we wanted to have real criminals that are also relatable. On the game's official website, the team said the following. It was time to start fresh with new characters. With Saints Row IV, Deep Silver Volition basically pushed the story to its breaking point. Today, the team provided a glimpse into the philosophy behind the reboot. Ultimately Saints Row is the story of a start-up company, it’s just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime. The official description on the Microsoft Store also points to that.Īs the future Boss, with Nee nah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you’ll form The Saints and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city. The gameplay seems just as over the top, but with a story that focuses on building a criminal empire from the ground. The title retains co-op and will be available on last-generation consoles as well.
At gamescom 2021, Deep Silver Volition surprised us with the announcement of a Saints Row reboot.
