Saints Row Reboot Announced (Official Trailer)

So, we are waiting for a complete reboot of the Saints Row series , which will be released under the name ... Saints Row. All of this wacky antics, diving into computers, killing zombies for Burt Reynolds, trying to become president and ruling the world with superpowers, never happened in Santo Ileso, the new world of Saints Row inspired by the American Southwest.

This time, the Saints team is a close-knit group of four comrades, each of whom has certain knowledge: clever Ed is in charge of the plan and analytics, Nina is an experienced driver, Kevin keeps the mood in the team, and the Boss ... Well, the Boss is you, the main character games, fully customizable character. There are up to 8 different voices to choose from. Your character can be big or small, young or old, in general, of any age.

It is noteworthy that the developers do not plan to expand the team of Saints Row characters over time. You'll be allowed to recruit nameless underlings to grow your empire with new ventures, but the story itself is focused solely on the four heroes. Volition says it's about a team that got tired of working for someone else and decided to start their own business.

Judging by the trailer and gameplay, the four of them look like a tight-knit group of friends who support each other like the team from Watch Dogs 2. Santo Ileso looks like a smaller version of the Las Vegas desert region. Creative director Brian Trafficante told the press that Santo Ileso is “one of the biggest cities that was built for Saints Row.

What will not be in the game is that crazy humor that was present in Saints Row 3 and 4. The tone that was acceptable 10 years ago will be dangerous today: it had a lot of sexism and homophobia, which today the world community is fighting zealously.

A new team and city have brought Saints Row to life, but the game is generally similar to previous iterations of the series. Volition emphasizes that the shooting will continue to be arcade-like, driving will be improved, and a huge selection of weapons will be provided.

The Saints Row relaunch will release on February 25 on PC (Epic Games Store exclusive), Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.
