Saints Row Teases 'Huge' Combat Overhaul in Next Update | Push Square
We don't really know what it means right now, but Saints Row is getting a «huge» combat overhaul in its next update, which is currently scheduled for a May release. This patch was actually announced last week, as developer Volition outlined the game's roadmap through to August.

That's a lot of support
Although said roadmap did mention a «combat overhaul», it's now clear that this is supposed to be a reasonably big deal. Again, we don't have any details to go on yet, but we do have a teasing tweet that shows some new takedowns (we think?).
It'll be interesting to see just how in-depth this «overhaul» is. «Smoother» action is also mentioned, so maybe certain animations and prompts are being redesigned as well? We'll have to wait and find out.
What do you want from this Saints Row combat update? Would such an overhaul make you want to revisit the sandbox title? Raise an eyebrow in the comments section below.
Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.
Despite flopping critically & commercially, it is nice to see them supporting the game for the people who did get it.
Too bad they can’t also update the bad story.
Love the series, cheesiness included. Will pick it up come May.
