Saints Row reboot announced for consoles and PC

Deep Silver and developer Volition announced Saints Row reboot today for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC via the Epic Games Store.

Saints Row reboot will feature an original story full of criminality, extraordinary scenes, and signature surprises laced with humor. Fans can look forward to a seamless co-op. The game is expected to be released on February 25, 2022.

Here’s an overview of Saints Row reboot, via Deep Silver:

We have our targets locked on a brand new city—Santo Ileso—a melting pot of big city business and darkened alley street crime, the perfect place to start a new criminal empire and the biggest and best playground we have ever created. Also, on a side note, the best Tacos in the American South West, (Chalupracarbra has a certain “kick” to it, if you know what I mean). The law in this city? Never heard of her. You don’t become self-made by following laws, right? Well, if you do—it sounds SUPER boring, so we’ll do it our way, thanks. The city offers a range of criminal ventures to further your interests (and make some sweet cash to boot—rent doesn’t pay itself).

You play as whoever you want in your journey from Newbie to Boss, kicking ass and fighting… well not crime obviously. We’ll talk more about our most extensive character creator ever in time, but it wouldn’t be a Saints Row game if you couldn’t roleplay in a range of roles from bank manager to green-skinned zombie alien monster, would it? Wherever you are in that spectrum, you do you, or.. not, we’re here for it. Plus, as is the custom, we have seamless untethered co-op so you and a friend can create those Saints Row moments together—friendship really is magic.
