The reboot of Saints Row was officially revealed at the Gamescom this year, and was initially scheduled for release next February. However, it seems that the developers need more time, as a few hours ago came the confirmation that Saints Row has been postponed to August 23, 2022. A great delay, which however shows how much the Voilition guys care about the project.
Saints Row has been postponed: the new release date is August 23
A choice made with knowledge of the facts, that of Voiltion. At least this is what transpires from what is stated by Jim Boon, who explained in an official statement that the studio’s priority is to ensure the quality of the title and a good gaming experience.
“Our priority is to create the best Saints Row seen so far – writes Jim Boone of Voilition – and if we released the game on the original date we would not be able to meet the quality standards set for us. The team needs a little more time to make the experience meet expectations. […] This will be the largest Saints Row ever created, so we have decided to take a few more months to realize our ambitions ”.
On the one hand we can say that not all evils come to harm, however. The first months of 2022 are in fact dotted with highly anticipated releases from the world community, just think of titles of the caliber of Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring e Dying Light 2: Stay Human. FromSoftware’s new video game would have shared the release date with Saints Row, an eventuality that would not have played in favor of Voilition.
This delay therefore allows the software house to avoid competition from these industry giants, allowing the same developers to smooth all corners of production before launch. At the moment, in fact, no other major releases are planned for August, which will surely guarantee this interesting reboot more space to breathe.
