This makes for a much larger, more varied sandbox, with Vegas-style zones, the desert and plenty of other themed backdrops. Set in Santo Ileso - a fictional south western American city - it is the first to feature both urban and sparse, suburban districts. The new Saints Row may have a few Easter Eggs in it for fans (we've been told), but it tells an all-new story with an all-new line-up of characters. It will also be available on the Epic Games Store for PC. The new Saints Row will be released on both last and current-gen consoles: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4 and Xbox One.
We've had a private briefing with Volition on the new Saints Row, so here's everything you need to know about the forthcoming open-world reboot.
Of course, there's humour and some over-the-top combat, but it features a completely new cast of characters and fresh location. Instead, it adopts the original name - just 'Saints Row' - and the more down-to-earth nature of the 2006 original and its first sequel. Ditching much of the craziness that crept into the franchise from Saints Row III and on, the developer is effectively rebooting the series and, as such, this is no Saints Row V. (Pocket-lint) - Saints Row is returning to its roots in the first all-new chapter from Volition in eight years.
