Through undisclosed means, YouTuber SRDominatrix leaked new gameplay for the upcoming Saints Row Reboot.
The video, found below, includes developer commentary and footage of various aspects of Saints Row Reboot.
Unlike the initial reveal, which was extremely divisive, buzz seems rather positive based off this trailer. With it focusing more on what players enjoyed about the franchise and offering a clearer look at what Saints Row Reboot hopes to accomplish, it paints a far more interesting picture than was initially shown.
If you haven’t heard about the Saints Row Reboot, you can find the official overview below:
Welcome to Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the heart of the American Southwest. In a world rife with crime, where lawless factions fight for power, a group of young friends embark on their own criminal venture, as they rise to the top in their bid to become Self Made.
As the future Boss, with Neenah, 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.
