Saints Row Reboot Returns to Classic GTA Tone in Fresh, Unconventional Way

St. Luke, we’re back at Saints Row!

Just when you thought the Saints Row franchise had hit the snooze button, Koch Media taps into the phone of Gamescom’s Opening Night Live and dishes out the fresh news: the brand‑new Saints Row is coming—and it’s a full reboot.

What’s the reset?

Get ready to rewind the dial back to the classic vibes of Saints Row 2. Think less circus, more underground gang wars. The city—Santo Ileso—is a wild, crime‑ridden oasis in the heart of the American Southwest. Powerful factions jostle for control, and a handful of friends decide to walk the fine line between heroism and hot‑wiring a criminal empire.

Meet the crew

  • Neenah – the mastermind with a knack for smooth moves.
  • Kevin – the driver who can get a Ferrari out of a pothole.
  • Eli – the tech wizard who turns gadgets into chaos.

And you? You’re the future Boss. Together, you’ll be forming the next Saints squad, taking on rival crews like Los Panteros, the Idols, and the ever‑frustrating Marshall. Build an empire, shoot a villain or two, and keep the city buzzing.

The sandbox you’ve dreamed of

The open world in this iteration is the biggest ever in Saints Row history. You’ll find a city that’s big enough for a handful of hustles, a labyrinth of side‑quests, and plenty of illegal sports to indulge your inner daredevil.

Customisation on point

  • Character – flip the wardrobe like a catabatic wardrobe.
  • Vehicle – paint a car like it’s a billboard.
  • Crew – turn your squad into a personal army.

And you can even hit the untethered co‑op mode to play through the whole campaign with a friend. No broken tools, no glitchy moments—just pure fun.

Release Info

Mark your calendars: Feb 25, 2022 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is set to ignite the streets again, so buckle up.

What else we’re excited about

During the same event, fans also learned that the Saints Row The Third Remastered will be patching it out at Free on the Epic Games Store this week. Because who doesn’t love a free game?

That’s it for now—get ready to ruffle some feathers and make a name in the city that’s as tumultuous as you.
