A blank slate is sure to open up storytelling opportunities, but shedding the series’ most outlandish features may come at a cost. But the series is backing away from the absurdities of aliens, presidential aspirations, superpowers, and demonic legions. The reboot - simply titled Saints Row - is far from grounded, as the trailer boasts a gravity defying car chase that would make The Fast and the Furious movies blush.

Featuring an amusing “criminal syndicate as business start-up” premise, this new installment of the Saints series maintains a signature blend of bombastic, crime-action and comedy. Now, Deep Silver Volition is getting a new crew together with a reboot that returns to the franchise's gangland roots.
The last main entry, Saints Row 4, released in 2013 and saw the titular criminal syndicate ascending to the White House while fighting off an alien invasion with super powers and phallic baseball bats. The last release in the Saints Row series was Gat Out of Hell, a spin-off starring beloved reoccurring character Johnny Gat as he battled his way out of the afterlife, released in 2015. After an extended hiatus, Deep Silver Volition revealed that the Saints Row franchise is primed to return early next year at Gamescom.
