The long-awaited Saints Row reboot has now gone gold, under a month before it is scheduled to launch on last-gen and current-gen consoles, as well as PC.
Either way, Saints Row 2022 is launching for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via the Epic Games Store next month - with no delays in sight.
Everything Else We Know About The Saints Row Reboot
Now well on its way to launch, Saints Row 2022 is the game you get if you put GTA's mayhem on steroids. But in comparison to the older games in the franchise, it's a bit more grounded and less wacky.
That was very much what the 23-minute gameplay shown by Eurogamer indicated. Here is the walkthrough, which focuses a lot on what players can do in the game's massive open world:
The game is set in a city called Santo Ileso, which was patterned after the American southwest. TechRadar says that while the setting is completely new compared to previous games in the series, it might still feature a few easter eggs giving an ode to the older titles. But this game is bringing about a brand-new story that doesn't fit with any other game, meaning it's going to be far more welcoming to newcomers who have never tried a Saints Row game before.
As "the Boss," your main goal will be to establish your very own criminal empire by tackling the three rival gangs controlling Santo Ileso. You'll be putting up businesses, dealing with rivals, and just causing pure mayhem on the streets on your way to becoming a kingpin - complete with the humor that the Saints Row franchise has been known for over the years.
