Volition and Deep Silver have officially presented Saints Row 4 to the world by sharing an explosive gameplay video and by posting the game's logo on its Facebook page.

Update: Saints Row 4 will be released in North America on August 20 and in Europe on August 23.

Update #2: The full description and gameplay mechanics of Saints Row 4 have been revealed so check them out here.

The Saints Row franchise was one of the crown jewels of THQ and helped it maintain financial stability at the beginning of last year. Sadly, the performance of Saints Row 3 wasn't enough to keep the company afloat and THQ declared bankruptcy in December.

After selling its franchises in January, the Saints Row franchise, together with developer Volition, were purchased by Koch Media and its Deep Silver publishing division.

The company already confirmed that Saints Row 4 would still be released this year and now the two companies have just revealed the first trailer of the new game.

The footage, available below, showcases a lot of over-the-top footage so check it out.

No other details are known, but you can expect Volition and Deep Silver to share more details soon enough.
