Restart of Saints Row delayed

Original text too short.

The next film of Saints The restart has been delayed, the Deep Silver Volition developer announced last night. Although it had been previously scheduled to launch on February 25, 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC through Epic Games Store, will now be launched on August 23, 2022. As for why it has been delayed, the announcement says, as usual, that the team simply needs more time to polish due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in progress.

Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game until now and, if we throw it on the original date, it would not be up to the standards we have set ourselves, and that you wait and deserve, attributes the announcement. A Jim Boone, creative director of Deep Silver Volition, reads partly. The team only needs more time to do justice to our vision; We are making some adjustments and there will be now many changes in the game outside of quality and general polishing ».

He can read the full statement by himself below:

This is an opportunity for us to return to our origins and return to that angle of the most contemporary crime, which we love and what is known to Saints Row, Boone said when the restart was announced for the first time. It was a great opportunity to tell the story we wanted to tell and, most importantly, to tell a contemporary story with which we believe that people will identify. What that means is that it could be of everything, from imagining the type of debt that people deal these days, student loans, the kind of things you want to be able to do for the American dream; Imagine if you were in that world, and you could form your own criminal empire. You could be your own boss and do things your way.

As indicated above, the new film of Saints is now officially scheduled to launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One and PC through Epic Games Store on August 23, 2022. Previously it had been scheduled to launch on February 25, 2022. You can check all our previous coverage of the Saints Row franchise here.
