As expected, a new Saints Row game was announced today during Gamescom Opening Night Live. Let's just address the elephant in the room: Saints Row is exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC. It may come to other stores in the future, but there's literally no confirmation yet about that. Saints Row will also be released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
The release date is set for February 25, 2022.
As expected, Saints Row (or SAINTS ROW as they're stylizing it) will be a reboot for the entire franchise. A CG trailer was shown off during today's presentation and while it is far more down to Earth than the later entries in the series, it still seems to contain just enough absurdity to separate it from the other open world titles out there.
About the game:

Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created; the unique sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger than life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions, as you shoot, drive, and wingsuit your way to the top.
Key Features:
Witness the Birth of The Saints – Play through an action blockbuster original story full of criminality, extraordinary scenes and signature surprises laced with humor.
Discover the Weird, Wild, West – Dive in to Santo Ileso, the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever, spread across nine unique districts surrounded by the vast, majestic beauty of the Southwest Desert.
Build Your Criminal Empire – Take over the city block by block, wage war against enemy factions and tighten your grip on the streets with ingenious criminal ventures.
