Saints Row might need been the worst-performing sport within the franchise. As caught by X person Timur222, a LinkedIn submit Tyrin Stevenson—previously a social media and neighborhood supervisor at developer Volition—states that Saints Row solely bought 1.7 million copies.
Going by the LinkedIn submit, Stevenson labored at Volition from Might 2022 till the studio’s closure in 2023, with Saints Row being the one title he dealt with the discharge for.
Business efficiency of Saints Row appeared to have been disappointing sufficient for writer Gearbox that Volition was shut down again in 2023. Earlier than that, publishing of the sport was moved over from Deep Silver to Gearbox.
Whereas the final Saints Row title was primarily a reboot for the complete franchise, that includes a completely new set of characters in a brand new setting, and with a special temper and theme when in comparison with its predecessors, rumours from again in November point out that the sport was initially going to function older characters returning.
Based on these rumours, characters like Shaundi, Dex, Aisha, and Johnny Gat had been deliberate to return within the sport, earlier than the pitch was turned down by Deep Silver in favour of the reboot.
