During The Game Awards 2021, a new gameplay trailer for Saints Row: The Third was revealed, showcasing more of the mayhem that players may cause in the upcoming remake. The Saints Row revival was first shown in August at Gamescom, another Geoff Keighley-hosted event, but received mixed reviews. Many people thought the tone was too different from the original games, especially since it lacked characters from the franchise.
Despite this, Volition has moved forward in an attempt to persuade both supporters and sceptics of its vision. Some gameplay for the upcoming Saints Row has already been released, but it hasn’t completely won over those who were turned off by the reveal. Although Volition has already made a concerted effort to guarantee that this is a true Saints Row game, the latest teaser may help portray the picture that frightened fans have been waiting for.
The ridiculousness of the Saints Row franchise is on full display in the new Saints Row gameplay clip. Even though there has been plenty of gameplay in recent months, this teaser explains why Saints Row has been a popular open-world title for so long, even in the age of Grand Theft Auto and Mafia. It remains to be seen whether it will be enjoyable to play, but it appears that it will be quite the show when it launches in 2022.
Volition stated a few weeks ago that Saints Row would be delayed from February until August 2022. Despite the fact that this is a significant delay, the company stated that it was to improve the game it was developing. The delay will not be used to address some of the game’s more serious criticisms, but rather to ensure that it is extra polished. Although not expressly mentioned, it’s likely that Volition decided to postpone Saints Row due to the congested release schedule at the start of 2022.
Not only will Volition be able to improve Saints Row with the extra time, but it will also be less overshadowed by competitors such as Horizon Forbidden West, Dying Light 2, and Elden Ring. Saints Row is looking great as it is, but a little more time in the oven can’t hurt, especially since a lot of publishers just published a slew of broken titles. Many critics thought Volition’s last game, Agents of Mayhem, was a mixed bag, so perhaps the team can deliver a respectable relaunch of the iconic property.
