Saints Row Reboot Opening Missions Showcased in 8-Minute Gameplay

Developer Volition provided Game Informer an eight-minute-long gameplay video showcasing the opening missions of the Saints Row reboot. You can watch it embedded below.

Saints Row is due to launch on February 25th, 2022, for PC (Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. This is now the same release date as Elden Ring, though. It'll be interesting to see whether Saints Row gets shifted around a bit.

Welcome to Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the heart of the American Southwest. In a world rife with crime, where lawless factions fight for power, a group of young friends embark on their own criminal venture, as they rise to the top in their bid to become Self Made. As the future Boss, with Neenah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you'll form The Saints - and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city. Ultimately Saints Row is the story of a start-up company, it's just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime.
