Naturally, players still fill the shoes of The Boss, who they can customize as much as they’d like. Johnny Gat and Shaundi are nowhere to be seen and are instead replaced by Eli, a money-laundering genius Nina, a talented getaway driver and gearhead and Kevin, a wild gun nut with a passion for cooking.

Regardless, Saints Row‘s new setting seems like a fair departure from the likes of Steelport, the city players romp through in Saints Row 3 and 4.Īlong with a new setting, players will be greeted by a new cast of characters in the Saints Row reboot. The game’s map will be the largest of any title in the Saints Row franchise, but it’s not clear how much of that terrain will belong to the city of Santo Ileso, and how much of it will be the surrounding desert.

In the trailer, developers working on the game stress that this new locale is extremely important, as it fits into the game’s overall theme (and weirdness). Saints Row will take place in Santo Ileso, a city set in the American Southwest. A majority of those differences won’t be in gameplay, but rather the game’s setting and cast of characters. While the upcoming self-titled Saints Row game will be keeping some things the same, the reboot is set to introduce multiple changes to the franchise.
