Overview
- Chris Stockman said on Reddit he was asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row prequel and clarified the concept is not a VR project.
- Stockman told PCGamesN he is attempting to reunite former colleagues and that Embracer is the party requesting the proposal.
- He is outlining a grounded prequel set around 1977 that returns to the tone of Saints Row 1, with satirical elements and no over-the-top weapons.
- The outreach follows Embracer’s disappointment with the 2022 reboot and the 2023 shutdown of developer Volition during restructuring.
- The effort remains an early pitch with no approval, budget, or timeline, and any full production would require a formal greenlight.
