Gamers everywhere are electrified with eager expectation as a… veteran designer from the earlier version of Saints Row has been approached to develop a new concept. This opportunity comes amid growing concerns over the franchise’s recent trajectory, as fans recall the days when the series truly shined.

Over time, the series has experienced a steady decline, with the most recent reboot missing the mark and causing longtime supporters to feel detached. Recognizing this issue, the rights holder now appears to be returning to its roots by seeking fresh ideas from someone intimately familiar with what originally made Saints Row a standout title.

The designer, who played a key role in crafting the original experience, shared his news on an online forum. Currently at a VR studio and with past contributions at a now-defunct development team on the original project, he revealed that he has been invited to propose ideas for a reboot. He expressed that this assignment has transformed his long-held aspirations into a tangible opportunity.

A few important points from his announcement include:

• The focus will be on developing a concept for a new installment that acts as a prequel.
• Despite his recent involvement in virtual reality projects, he confirmed that this new pitch will not involve VR elements, reflecting his decision to return to his original design passions.
• While he has chosen not to disclose additional details for now, his commitment to preserving the series' legacy is clear.

This development is particularly exciting given his firsthand experience during the franchise’s golden days. Many enthusiasts hope that his vision will help revive the spirit and success of the series, steering it back to the captivating path it once traveled.
