When you think of games that put the open sandbox genre on the map, the Saints Row series is right up there with Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. It garnered a lot of attention from gamers who wanted limitless possibilities in terms of gameplay and choices.
One of the more popular installments in this series was Saints Row: The Third by Volition. It dialed up the freedom and anarchy button to an eleven. Whether you’re taking down rival gangs or just trying to amass wealth in the city of Steelport, this game provides hours and hours of bonkers excitement.
That’s why it brings me great pleasure to confirm this installment is getting a remastered copy. A trailer for it was just put out today and it looks like a roll-coaster ride of anarchy and fun. It starts off showing the visual improvements from the original to the remastered copy. Instantly, you see a lot more vibrancy in the details and colors.
If you’ve wanted to have a definitive Saints Row experience, this remastered version seems like just the title to add to your collection. The graphics look absolutely stunning. It wouldn’t be a Saints Row trailer without some adrenaline-pumping action. A jet blasts by skyscrapers, there’s a character parachuting into a gorgeous park area, and bullets are flying everyone.
The trailer then goes into some of the changes that this remastered copy will feature. There will be enhanced graphics, lighting, and VFX. It’s also worth mentioning that Saints Row: The Third Remastered is including the full package. That means over 30 pieces of DLC will be available at launch.
Best of all, fans won’t have to wait that long to get their hands on a copy. It will be available May 22 on all major platforms. So if you’ve never played this over-the-top action game or perhaps just want to revisit it for better visuals, you’ll just have to wait one more month.
It’s a brilliant strategy from Deep Silver, who wants to tide fans over as they wait for the next installment in the long-running series. Before a new chapter begins, gamers can check out one of the best Saints Row games to date and get in on some memorable action. Whether you want to blow up helicopters with missiles or just drive around in a sports car, Saints Row: The Third Remastered is your destination for never-ending fun this May.
