Saints Row is getting a complete reboot scheduled to release Feb. 25, 2022.

This reboot takes the series out of Michigan and into the American Southwest, mimicking states like Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and California. Gone are the superhero hijinks of the fourth game. The new “Saints Row,” announced Tuesday at Gamescom, is once again about upstart gang members looking to build a criminal empire.

Players will be able to buy real estate properties and use them for various criminal enterprises. One such example includes starting a d***-running business using fast-food meat trucks as cover

need that saints row fan on youtube to come back

really hope it’s this year but i’m sure it won’t be out till next

Looks like it’s gonna be saints row 1/2 vibes again

Saints row 2 one of the best games ever made

Why the video game industry so dry?

Why invest in new properties or IP’s when you can just feed consumers the same old s*** on the basis of nostalgia and make a guaranteed profit? Same s*** as the movie industry lmao

New IPs are hard and people eat up existing IPs and remasters.

I bet that AAA new IPs are significantly more expensive to produce than existing IPs

Keep if it's not like 1 or 2.

Also 4 was one of the worst games I've ever played

Need a fully remastered trilogy

4.. well, while fun in its own right.. we’re fine with its original lol

Fkn game gave me motion sickness

That's kinda sad and uninspiring.

Seems like Hideo Kojima and Rockstar are the only companies with exciting content

I have a feeling they might lean even further into the zany, almost in a sunset overdrive kinda way, that's the vibe I get from the pic at least

"Boss it" or "bossing" things reads off like a tagline/main game mechanic too

Prolly reading too far into it

There’s actually a lot of cool stuff that happens in the gaming space it’s just that it doesn’t really get the funding or attention that it needs

We need more people interacting/playing more than 3 games every year

leak that was going round a few months ago dunno how true it is sounds good though

Saints Row 2 is a classic
