It is with great sadness that we confirm the passing of our friend Mike “IdolNinja” Watson.
Mike joined Volition as a Saints Row fan. He left us as a Community Manager and a Developer woven indelibly into the heart of our studio.

A Saints Row update from Jim Boone, Chief Creative Officer, Volition
Read More: fal.cn/3jTmg
ALT Saints Row will no longer release on the originally announced date of 25th February 2022, instead it will launch worldwide on 26th August 2022. Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve. The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish. We’re sorry we’re delaying the game. We’re confident this is the right decision to make sure the game is fucking awesome when it launches. Keep It Strange, Jim
