in NewsSecond Saints Row DLC Takes You to the Circus

Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus is the second of three planned DLC expansions for Saints Row. The first expansion came out just back in May and, like that previous expansion, today's new expansion release comes alongside a hefty update for the entirety of Saints Row.
This second Saints Row expansion is called Doc Ketchum's Murder Circus and it adds in a new standalone solo mode with... -

Embracer Moves Volition to Gearbox Despite Saints Row Meeting Sales Expectations
The latest financials from Embracer Group shed light on the future of many of its recent acquisitions.

As part of their reporting, Embracer shared that their sales have increased by 190% compared to Q2 2021.

Volition Promises a Major Saints Row Bug Fix Update for November
The company also revealed some rather anemic sales figures.
The new Saints Row game had a hell of a rocky launch. It was panned by critics and fans alike for its myriad of bugs, performance issues, and repetitive gameplay. Sadly, while the gameplay part can't just be easily "fixed," the bugs and other issues can be addressed and that is precisely what Volition plans to do.
In late November, Volition says they will release a major update to the game that will tackle... -
in NewsNew Saints Row is Apparently a Broken Mess
The reviews are in and critics agree: Yikes!
If you were debating on picking up the new Saints Row game when it comes out on August 23, 2022 you should probably not get it. Just don't buy it. In fact, I'd probably wait maybe a year or so before picking it up. Not only will the game more than likely be out on Steam at that point for you PC users, but it will probably also be a lot less buggy. It will probably also be available for a big discount.

in NewsSaints Row Customization Showcase Scheduled for April
Will focus on customization. Obviously.
Volition has been rather quiet when it comes to all things Saints Row over these past several months. The last we heard about Saints Row was when it was back in November 2021 when it was delayed by several months from February 25 to August 23, 2022. Before that, we were at least given a lengthy gameplay reveal video.
That silence was broken today as Volition and Deep Silver announced a big customization showcase for Saints Row. This... -
Saints Row Distances Self from Elden Ring with Lengthy Delay
February 2022 just got a little less packed.
The Saints Row reboot was originally scheduled to be released on February 25, 2022. If that date sounds familiar to you, it's probably because that's the exact same date that Elden Ring moved to after receiving its own delay.
Saints Row will now release on August 23, 2022. Even if you ignore that Elden Ring would be released on February 25, the month of February 2022 was already looking to be pretty stacked. In that month alone... -

Just in case you thought they were getting too serious with the reboot.
Volition and Deep Silver recently revealed their reboot for the Saints Row franchise during Gamescom Opening Night Live. The CG only trailer has been met with some rather mixed reactions from fans, as seen by the 23K dislikes to the just 16K likes on the official video. Hell, VGC even wrote an article about how divided fans are and how Volition "won't back down."

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.

in NewsSaints Row Reboot Announcement Could be Imminent
The tease comes from Geoff Keighley.
It looks like we may get an announcement of a Saints Row reboot next week at Gamescom 2021. The tease about the announcement came from Geoff Keighley, host of Gamescom Opening Night Live (and a bunch of other stuff throughout the year).
Keighley's tweet says that they are "'Bossing' it with our announcements this year." Included in the tweet is a link to SaintsRow.com. On the site an image is shown that simply says "Rebooting."...
