This wasn't an uncalculated move from the team, though. During a press event for Saints Row , Volition noted it felt it had literally nowhere else to go after the events of the last game.
As such, it was decided the team would reboot Saints Row. Given Saints Row 4 gave players superpowers, put the Saints in the White House, introduced aliens, and even literally took players to Hell in an expansion, there wasn't anywhere else the series could go from there. So, Volition decided to go back to the franchise's roots and create a contemporary crime game centered around the origins of the Saints.
Speaking to press, Volition CCO Jim Boone noted the importance of the more grounded return to the series' beginnings in order to create a more relatable story that reflects the struggles of an American citizen.

Following a succession over-the-top adventures that folded in alien invasions and superpowers with Saints Row 4 and its subsequent follow-ups, Volition is bringing its open world crime series back to its roots with the next year's Saints Row - a reboot that reintroduces a more grounded contemporary fictional setting while still looking to hold onto the humour and possibilities that Saints Row has become beloved for.
Titled simply Saints Row, the new game will be a cross-generational affair that's coming as soon as next February, and sees a player-created character heading up a gang of four as they go on to establish a criminal empire. Among that group is Eli, a nerdy planner with an MBA, Neenah, who provides the driving talent and Kevin, who, er, has some lovely abs?
Then there's the player character themselves, defined by the player using some of the same deep customisation options seen previously in the series - and the group's make-up promises to play into the co-op that is also at the heart of this Saints Row reboot. Providing the playground this time out is Santo Ileso, which draws heavily upon the American south west.
It's broken down into nine distinct districts, including the downbeat Rancho Providencio, Las Vegas analogue El Dorado and the secluded suburban Monte Vista. In the heart of the city there's an extended emphasis on verticality and the promise of some tools to make the most of all that, with wingsuits and ziplines that catapult players into the air.
The emphasis in the Saints Row reboot is on contemporary crime, though it's still delivered in developer Volition's overstated way. There are three factions you're competing against across Santo Ileso, and as you conquer the map you'll have access to vacant lots you can fit out with the fronts for criminal businesses of your own, unlocking activities such as illegal car smuggling rings and - of course - insurance fraud.
Saints Row is set to be a cross-gen game, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S and X, though it is taking advantage of a new engine that Volition won't currently disclose, but will say it's their first time working with. There's also some welcome contemporary influences with Saints Row, with Baby Driver informing the driving, John Wick the shooting while Hobbes and Shaw - these are people of exquisite taste - informs the over-the-top nature of the action.
