Game publisher Deep Silver has announced that Saints Row IV, the next chapter in the Saints Row franchise, will be released late Summer this year.
Formerly a product of the now-defunct publisher THQ, new publisher Deep Silver and developer Volition will continue the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level - the leaders of the free world.
In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation.
Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. In the game, players will utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in what the company is calling "the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet."
Developed by Volition, Saints Row IV will launch on current-gen consoles and PC on August 20, 2013, in North America and August 23, 2013, in the rest of the world.
