Saints Row Reboot Delayed by Several Months

The reboot of Saints Row has been delayed by several months. The studio wants to polish the game before the August release on PC as well as both major console generations.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  1. The release of Saints Row reboot has been pushed back from February to late August 2022.

The Saints Row reboot, which was set to debut in late February next year, has been delayed. Studio Volition and publisher Deep Silver have announced a new release date. The game will not arrive until August 23, 2022 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S and PC.

Jim Boone, one of the heads of Volition, sent a letter to the players waiting for this title. We can read in it that studio needs more time to polish its vision of Saints Row reboot.

"Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve. The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish."

One of the reasons behind this decision is the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects, underestimated by the project management team.
