In summer 2020, publisher Deep Silver and developer Volition Inc. announced the return of the popular open-world action series Saints Row. Although the new Saints Row will be understood as a classic reboot that will bring the series up to date for the next generation of hardware, longtime series fans will not be forgotten.
Instead, the creative minds at Volition Inc. are aiming to impress both newcomers and longtime series fans with a mix of new elements and returning features. Here's what you can look forward to in the reboot.
Intense action and a quirky sense of humor
In the new Saints Row, your path leads to the streets of the fictional US metropolis of Santo Ileso, where different factions are fighting for supremacy. A return is being celebrated by the Saints from the various predecessors, who with your support would like to secure the rule over Santo Ileso. Also returning from older Saints Row titles is the option to jump into the fray either alone or cooperatively with other players.
Although the reboot is not quite as crazy as, for example, Saints Row 4, the new adventure of the Saints is far from falling into dry realism. Instead, the developers at Volition Inc. want to score points with hopelessly over-the-top action and the familiar quirky sense of humor of the franchise.
Customization options provide a unique player experience
The studio also places great value on the numerous customization options in the Saints Row reboot. The extensive character editor, for example, allows you to create your own Saint and customize aspects such as gender, eye color, or various extras such as prosthetics and outfits. Weapons or vehicles can also be customized to provide an optically individual player experience.
