“I’m continually amazed by how much gameplay there is (in this game),” said James Hague, Saints Row’s design director. The reveal video mentioned running drugs out of a fast food restaurant, as well as car theft and chop shops, gun running, and a series favorite, insurance fraud. Players will build up turf in Santo Ileso’s nine districts (Volition makes the requisite promise this is the series’ largest-ever map) and launch criminal enterprises within them. The third enemy faction is Marshall Defense Industries, basically a mercenary company that makes their own weaponry. The Idols are another faction, and they tossed out Kevin, a DJ party animal character. Neenah is the gang’s wheelman, and was jettisoned from Los Panteros, one of Santo Ileso’s enemy factions. “So that means the next step is to make connections with people that can shoot guns.” “He just didn’t realize the business he was going to build was a criminal empire,” Bernstein said. The idea comes from Eli, a bowtie-wearing MBA and one of the four founding friends that start the Saints. The updated premise for the Saints’ origin: They’re a startup business, they just happen to be criminals. Saints Row 4 review: An inclusive, over-the-top power fantasy “We have little nods here and there to some of our previous mascots and things like that, but it is a brand new story.” “So this, with it being rebooted, is a completely new story it doesn’t fit chronologically with any of the ones that we have done,” Boone said. In the game, players lead a cohort of Gen Z crime impresarios in the takeover of an all-new city, the corrupt, Vegas-like playground named Santo Ileso.

Thus, it was “a pretty easy decision for us to go back to our roots,” Boone said, and that’s how we got Saints Row - no numbering or subtitling - launching Feb. If you were to think, ‘Where would we take it from there?’ - we went to Hell and conquered that, even, right? So there truly isn’t anywhere to go past that.” “By the time you’re done with Saints Row 4, you are the ruler of the galaxy. “When we would talk about Saints Row 4, we would talk about how you were coming from the crack house, to the penthouse, to the White House,” Jim Boone, Volition’s chief creative officer, mused in a preview livestream two weeks ago. As fun as it was to make, the studio realized they may have painted themselves into a narrative corner, eight years after the thoroughly surreal Saints Row 4 widened the gangland canon to include an alien invasion, Vice President Keith David, the Dubstep Gun, and the author Jane Austen. It should come as no surprise that the next Saints Row, launching in February, is a complete reboot of Volition’s open-world crime spree franchise.
