Overview
- Chris Stockman said on Reddit he has been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row reboot that would act as a prequel.
- Follow-up reporting identifies Embracer Group, the IP owner, as the party that requested the proposal.
- Stockman has floated a 'Saints Row ’77' concept focused on a grounded, character-driven tone that recalls the first game.
- He clarified the pitch is not for VR and said he would avoid returning the series’ notorious giant dildo weapon.
- Stockman is trying to reconnect with original collaborators, and he stresses this is only a pitch following the 2022 reboot’s poor reception and Volition’s 2023 closure.
