The gaming community loves GTA’s look-alike title Saints Row for the all-right reasons. The franchise doesn’t take itself seriously and in the last few iterations, things became quite hilarious. Now, the developers have decided to dial the clock back and bring the franchise to a brand new beginning.
Volition Studio could have made a sequel following the events of Gat Out of Hell which was released in 2015. This expansion pack to Saints Row IV was the last entry in the franchise.

However, this does not mean that Saints Row’s craziness is getting dialed down. The developer promised iconic moments and reaffirmed that the title will retain its brash personality. Fans will find themselves in a sunny south-western town of American that will offer desert regions and a roster of animals.
Sadly, it doesn’t seem like fans will ever get the chance to meet Johnny Gat in the game. Jeremy confirmed multiple times that the studio has parted ways with the iconic characters. In this new version of the game, fans will start afresh with a brand new cast of characters. Lastly, there will be DLC content coming out, after the title finally releases.
