As a franchise, Saints Row has always been compared to Grand Theft Auto, and it's easy to see where the comparisons come from. The first Saints Row game, released all the way back in 2006, bore a striking resemblance to the Grand Theft Autos of the time, choosing to be a grounded, realistic crime game. With the release of Saints Row 2, the series started to carve out its own identity, choosing to focus more on tongue-in-cheek humor and satire, while also throwing in some emotional beats to keep the narrative engaging.

The new Saints Row will put players up against some brand-new gangs as they attempt to take over the new American Southwest-inspired location, Santo Ileso. As they try to wrestle power away from rival gangs, players will come into contact with a variety of new faces, the most important of which are the three core members of the new Saints gang.
