Deep Silver and Volition have formally announced Saints Row IV. The crazy sandbox game is back and hits store shelves on August 20. Get the first teaser trailer and screenshots inside.
Press release:
- From the Crack House to the White House –
15 March 2013 - Hampshire, UK/... Today Deep Silver announced that Saints Row IV™, the ball-busting next chapter in the Saints Row franchise, is starting a party in your pants this Fall.
In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak’s mental grasp. Escape the simulation that’s trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.
Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.
Save the world, Saints Style.

Will definitely keep an eye on this!
Saints row 3 along with The Saboteur are my favorite open world games this gen along with Arma 2 & Arma 3 alpha
new number to me represents a true sequel which this clearly isnt
That is simply commentary on the name. Re-used assets, recycled DLC, etc. are different issues.
I'm happy enough that they're in good shape after THQ blew up.
Still looks like the expansion pack to me
