Saints Row is all set to return this August with a brand new cast and a new story set in Santo Ileso. Prior to the epic return of the humor-filled action-adventure open-world series, developer Volition has an in-depth look at the ’ultimate' customization present in the game.
Saints Row was initially envisioned as an open-world title, riffing off the gangster story and largely inspired Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto titles. However, throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, the series kept on one-upping itself, taking every installment over the top.
By the time Saints Row IV came around, becoming president of the United States and then being invaded by Aliens, only to witness earth being destroyed and subsequently entering a simulation with superpowers seemed totally in line with the franchise.
After a stand-alone expansion, Gat Out of Hell, and a spin-off single-player hero shooter title, Agents of Mayhem, Volition is rebooting the franchise with the latest iteration set for this year, titled Saints Row.
The new iteration of Saints Row follows a new cast of characters, consisting of a mechanic who serves as the gang's driver, Neenah, a DJ who handles the execution of heists, Kevin.
An MBA Business Entrepreneur who plans gang activities, Eli, along with the Boss, a former member of Marshall Defense Industries, are also a part of the cast.
The game takes players to a new location, Santo Ileso, a city broken down into nine districts, each with a distinct look and feel. Players will cross paths against various antagonistic factions and claim the city in the name of the Saints.
While the game was initially set for a February 25, 2022 date, it was later deleted until August of the same year. The Ultimate Customization Showcase
