Gamescom 2021#
The Saints Row reboot was revealed to the public at Gamescom 2021, being shown to critics and press behind closed doors with a release date for February 25, 2022. The initial revelation was in the form of a CGI Trailer, and small gameplay snippets released around the time of the event.
It gathered largely negative fanfare with criticism directing towards the new characters and for showing little gameplay. Despite the controversy, Volition still went ahead with developing the game as is1...which wasn't met to a favorable response either.
