Plans are underway to resurrect Saints Row, because the design director for the primary sport, Chris Stockman, has revealed that he is engaged on a pitch for a brand new entry within the open-world franchise that can see it return to its roots.On the Saints Row Reddit, Stockman stated that he had been approached to work on a proposal, which if profitable, may very well be a prequel. “I have been requested to create a pitch for a Saints Row prequel. I can not say something greater than that, however my desires for this sport simply turned just a little extra than simply desires,” Stockman stated, whereas including that it will not be a VR sport that is being pitched.In a follow-up with PCGamesN, Stockman added that he is “making an attempt to get the band again collectively” to work on the sport. “I wish to deliver the Saints Row franchise again to its roots. As you already know, I directed Saints Row, and I really feel the sequence has strayed method too distant from that. I utterly perceive why they went that method, however in the long run, they sort of painted themselves right into a nook they could not get out of,” Stockman stated.This does not imply that Saints Row is certainly coming again, as making ready a pitch and getting it efficiently authorised are two various things. Former Callisto Protocol director Glen Schofield just lately spoke about how difficult the method for getting a brand new sport greenlit and funded could be, however that hasn’t stopped him from “making calls” to get Lifeless House 4 authorised now that its father or mother firm, EA, is planning to go non-public as a part of a pending $55 billion deal.Launched in 2022, Saints Row could be the ultimate sport produced by Volition earlier than the studio was closed down in 2023. Embracer Group labeled it a industrial flop, and, critically, the sport obtained blended opinions. Within the aftermath of Volition’s closure, Saber Interactive founder Matthew Karch remarked that the studio had gotten too costly to take care of.
