A trailer showcasing Boss Factory is expected to be shown at this year's Summer Games Fest, with the tool likely to be available right after its unveiling. Boss Factory has all the same customisation options that will be available in Saints Row. Once designed, your unique character can be ported into the full game when it launches on August 23.
