If you are looking forward to taking to the streets again, making a name for yourself and your family Saint Street Restarting in early 2022, we have some bad news: it has been postponed. And there is still a long way to go.
In the message On twitter In the early hours of the morning, Jim Boone, Volition’s chief creative officer, pointed out that the game will move from its original release date on February 25, 2022 to the new summer time slot on August 23, 2022.
If you have heard of this before, please stop us, but the developer stated that a delay has been implemented so that the team can better fine-tune the quality of experience and make the overall game a little bit better.
“Our top priority is to create the best Saints Row game. If we release it on the initial date, it will not meet the standards we set for ourselves, and you expect and deserve what you expect and deserve,” the statement read. “The team just needs more time to achieve our vision of fairness; we are doing some fine-tuning, except for the overall quality and polish, the game will not change much.”
The developer went on to point out that the complications caused by the Coivd-19 pandemic also affected the development plan, so the team needed more time to complete the production of “the biggest and best Saints Row game ever”.
If you like the games you have seen so far, don’t worry; this is not an overhaul. Rather, this is just a delay in order to perfect the game. “Don’t worry, there will be no changes to the story or characters or anything we have carefully imagined and shared with you over the past few years,” the post pointed out.
During the live broadcast of Gamescom’s opening night, this newly relaunched and more low-key Saints Row was exposed and told the story of a group of friends who started their own criminal adventures in order to become self-made. It looks very promising, and is exactly the kind of reboot the series needs, at least according to Alex in our Saints Row preview.
According to this new delay, Saints Row will be released on PC on August 23 through the Epic Games Store, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
