Saints Row Creative Director Wants To Bring The Franchise Back From The Dead
Plans are underway to resurrect Saints Row, as the design director for the first game, Chris Stockman, has revealed that he’s working on a pitch for a new entry in the open-world franchise that will see it return to its roots.
On the Saints Row Reddit, Stockman said that he had been approached to work on a proposal, which if successful, could be a prequel. “I’ve been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row prequel. I can’t say anything more than that, but my dreams for this game just became a little more than just dreams,” Stockman said, while adding that it won’t be a VR game that’s being pitched.
In a follow-up with PCGamesN, Stockman added that he’s “attempting to get the band back together” to work on the game. “I want to bring the Saints Row franchise back to its roots. As you know, I directed Saints Row, and I feel the series has strayed way too far away from that. I completely understand why they went that way, but in the end, they kind of painted themselves into a corner they couldn’t get out of,” Stockman said.
