14 DAY TRIAL // Saints Row 4 will end the current saga made by Volition, and the studio already has plans for a potential fifth installment which will take things into a new direction.
The Saints Row series may have started out life as a clone of Grand Theft Auto, but in recent entries it went into a much more over-the-top direction, opting for tongue-in-cheek humor and parody rather than serious stories.
With Saints Row 4, developer Volition takes things to the extreme, putting players in the shoes of the president of the United States, who's kidnapped by aliens.
According to Volition's Design Director, Scott Phillips, the new installment is considered by him and his team as the end of the current saga.
"We're definitely considering Saints Row IV sort of the end of that saga of this character and the Saints as they are. So if there's any more future Saints Rows - which you know we always hope there will be, we hope there's fans for future games like that - they will probably continue in a different direction," he told GameReactor.
As of yet, a sequel to Saints Row 4 hasn't been confirmed by publisher Deep Silver.
