Saints Row reboot delayed until August 2022 to improve quality

Deep Silver and Volition have announced that the reboot of their saga Saints Row has suffered a delay in its search to polish and improve the game, and it is not for less, and in the last year we have had many Triple A titles that have been a fiasco, with Cyberpunk 2077 perhaps the one that is most remembered, or more recently, the Grand Theft Auto: The Triology. So looking at all of this, basically no one will complain about a game being delayed.

“Saints Row will no longer go on sale on the originally announced date of February 25, 2022, but will launch worldwide on August 23, 2022.

Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game to date, and if we released it on the original date, it would not live up to the standards that we have set ourselves and that you expect and deserve. The team needs more time to do justice to our vision; we’re making some tweaks and there won’t be many changes to the game other than quality and overall polish.

We honestly underestimate the impact COVID would have on our schedule, although everyone adjusted very quickly to working from home and remained incredibly productive. However, due to the size and scope of our new Saints Row, it has become apparent that in order to create the best game possible, we need to give our team more time to hone their craft.

As we said when we announced Saints Row in August, this will be the biggest and best Saints Row game of all time, and to achieve our goal, we have set a generous but essential amount of time to realize our ambitions. Rest assured that there will be no change in the story or in the characters or in anything that we have fondly imagined over the last few years and that we have already shared with you.

In the last two years, every corner of the entertainment industry has been affected / impacted in one way or another. As gamers that we are, we know what it feels like when something that you were eagerly awaiting is delayed; it’s frustrating and you feel disappointed. But we also know that when we finally get our hands on Saints Row, the wait will have been worth it. Our top priority is to get it right. “
