Saints Row reboot teased for Gamescom Opening Night Live

After recently announcing that Gamescom’s Opening Night Live is due to host 30 games, showcase Geoff Keighley has teased that there will be a Saints Row announcement in the event. 

“We are ‘Bossing’ it with our announcements this year,” Keighley wrote in a tweet that teased the impending announcement of a new Saints Row game during his Opening Night Live show that is due to kick off Gamescom 2021. 

Alongside a reminder that the event starts at “11 am PT / 2 pm ET / 7 pm BST / 8 pm CEST,” Keighley attached a video showing the Saints Row franchise logo, as well as the text “rebooting.” 

You don’t have to be a games journalist to work out that this means that a Saints Row reboot will be on the way, but the real question is which direction will they take the series in. Will we be getting a remastered carbon copy of Saints Row 1 or 2? Or will we be getting a wackier new instalment which is a true ground-up reboot? We’ll just have to wait and see. 

5 days until @gamescom #OpeningNightLive on Wednesday.
