The new Saints Row is set to come on August 23rd. Serving as a total reboot of the whole franchise, Saints Row promises many new things while also preserving its overall wackiness. As it has been confirmed by developer Volition that the new Saints Row is set in an entirely new location called Santo Ileso. This brand-new city is apparently so big that Volition reportedly decided to provide more options as to how players will navigate the world in the upcoming Saints Row.
Just like the Grand Theft Auto series, the Saints Row series have always been open-world games with big, sprawling virtual cities. While this calls for exploration using all available means of transportation, sometimes players may just want to get from point A to point B instantly without any sort of hassles. In the first two Saints Row games, the easiest way to do this would be by ordering a taxi, but unfortunately this mechanic was scrapped in both Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row 4.
Saints Row's Flow, Perks, and Ability Features Detailed in New Report
The good news is Volition is planning to add a new fast travel system into the upcoming Saints Row. That's according to a new report that details some of the new features coming to the game. The new system reportedly will allow players to fast travel around the fictional city of Santo Ileso without having to drive by themselves for miles. While this sounds like a big help for situations like when a mission giver is located on the other side of the city, fans of the series must always keep in mind that the information is still yet to be confirmed as of this writing.
The report also provides more details as to how the new fast travel feature works, as well as how Volition limits the feature to some degree.
