THQ and Volition have announced Saint’s Row for the Xbox 360. The free roaming, urban third-person shooter is said to offer gamers and unprecedented level of freedom and will be released worldwide for the Xbox 360 late this year.
“We’re building Saint’s Row on a new proprietary game engine that’s going to take our studio to the next level of game design,” said Mike Kulas, Volition’s founder and president. “The goal is to build a complete sense of dynamic reaction to every action the player takes. In Saint’s Row, the player is not forced to follow a linear story in a pseudo-sandbox world. The purpose is to provide choice and freedom as to how the game is played.”
“Saint’s Row represents an evolution in open world game design and breaks the mold, pushing the genre in a new direction of choice and consequence,” added Jack Sorensen, executive vice president of worldwide studios, THQ. “With this title, we’ll establish both a new franchise on a next-generation console and a solid foundation for our future projects.”
The game casts players as a member of the Third Street Saints, a gang who are trying to take back the streets that have been taken over by rival gangs. It all sounds very GTA. We’ll try and bring you some impressions later in the week.
