While reaction for the new Saints was mixed, many appreciate what the team at Volition were doing, choosing all new characters.
When the game was announced, we had a chance to ask some questions of the developers, you can read the full interview here, but here is a little about the new characters and missions.
MG: As the game is being built around a new team of Saints, will there be missions that exploring the stories of the new characters?
Jeremy: Yes, I believe I can say that, so yes there will. As I alluded to before, we spent a lot of building these characters and building their relationships and we love them and I think so of the most fun moments in the game are in the missions where you get to spend time with them. We are not just building this world and these characters, we are building friendships with them and making that something that you get to experience as a player, is something that we have put a lot of effort into and for me at least, that really pays off.
When the game is released on August 23rd, it will come to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
