Saints Row is getting rebooted on February 25

Deep Silver announced the next Saints Row, just called Saints Row, during today’s Gamescom Opening Night event. It will release on February 25 for PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. You can watch the debut trailer above.

This will be a reboot for the franchise, with a focus on new characters and gameplay elements more similar to the earlier Saints Row titles. That means developer Volition is backing off from the wackier, over-the-top antics of Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV. Instead, the game will favor the more traditional Grand Theft Auto-meets-gang-territory-warfare of Saints Row and Saints Row 2.
