Jim Boone, one of the heads of Volition, sent a letter to the players waiting for this title. We can read in it that studio needs more time to polish its vision of Saints Row reboot.
"Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve. The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish."
One of the reasons behind this decision is the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects, underestimated by the project management team.
