The Saints come marching (and blasting) in

Deep Silver and Volition have announced that the next entry in the popular Saints Row franchise is coming to consoles and PC on February 25th, 2022. But it’s not Saints Row 5…

Saints Row 5 is a Reboot and It's Coming Next Year

Instead of a new numbered entry in the series, Volition has opted for a reboot (and for good reason.)

The new game will be set in a new city with a new cast of characters. The announcement comes with a CGI trailer introducing us to the new city and the new Saints that you’ll be building a criminal empire with next year.

We’ve got a lot more Saints Row coverage coming a little later today once the embargo runs its course, so come back soon to learn a lot more about the new Saints Row reboot. [Update: Here’s 17 Things We Learned About Saints Row.]

Saints Row releases February 25th, 2022 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store.

Saints Row (2022) – The Story

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. 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.

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 own gameplay moments together.
