Saints Row is also going through a reboot. This seems to be a fad nowadays…

Volition has been developing Saints Row since the beginning. Embracer, via Deep Silver, now tasked the team to make a new game… or a reboot. It’s going to be a cross-gen title. Here is an overview of the game via Deep Silver: “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 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. 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. Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created; the unique, sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger than life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions as you shoot, drive, and wingsuit your way to the top.

Express yourself and unleash your inner Saint with the most advanced suite of customization tools yet seen in an open-world game—make your character, your car and your crew your own. Dive into epic gunfights and highspeed chases, and witness outrageous only-in-Saints-Row moments in an original story that charts the Saints’ remarkable rise to power. Enjoy the freedom of playing the entire campaign with a friend through seamless untethered co-op play, where you can both push the limits of your gang and create your gameplay moments together.

[…] Play through an action blockbuster original story full of criminality, extraordinary scenes and signature surprises laced with humour. Dive into Santo Ileso, the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever spread across nine unique districts surrounded by the vast, majestic beauty of the Southwest Desert. […] Shoot revolvers from the hip, fire and forget with a rocket launcher, or obliterate up close using melee heavyweights, complete with brutal takedowns. A vast variety of familiar and exotic weapons, all customizable and all deadly fun.

Blast through urban and desert environments in any one of the cars, bikes, planes, helicopters, VTOLs, hoverbikes, hoverboards, go-karts or equip your wingsuit to swoop around. […] Experience everything on offer with a friend at any time, via fully untethered drop-in/drop-out co-op, skipping the need to take either of you out of the outlandish action; play nice together, or play all new pranks on your teammate. After all, who’s the Boss now?” the publisher wrote.

Saints Row will launch on February 25 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (as an Epic Games Store-exclusive), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. For a week, you can pick up Saints Row: The Third Remastered for free from the Epic Games Store.
