There’s only a week left until Saints Row releases. Yes, after almost a decade in hibernation, the high-flying tongue-in-cheek crime simulator is back — with lengthy tales to tell as well.
On Monday, publisher Deep Silver released a fresh trailer for Saints Row that goes into the story. Set in a fictional city in the American southwest called Santo Ileso, this car-jacking adventure is about a group of up-and-comers looking to make a name for their gang, “The Saints,” as is the tradition in these games. There’ll be rival organizations to take down and a villain that’s rocking one mean mustache.
Watch the new Saints Row trailer for yourself below. There aren’t any glaring spoilers, so don’t worry about seeing too much of the plot before launch. Plus, this isn’t quite something driven by its narrative.
🤩 It's here! Take a look at the awesome #SaintsRow Story Reveal trailer, giving you a taste of the Saints’ formation, rivals, rise to power (don’t worry, no spoilers) and a whole load of 💥💥💥

The humor is still intact, even if it’s nowhere near as silly as Saints Row 4 was. Yeah, it’s a shame that this one won’t be about fighting-off aliens as the president of the United States again.
Saints Row releases Aug. 23, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store. It was originally coming out In February but got hit with a six-month delay.
