Fans have a reason for optimism. Chris Stockman, the author of the first Saints Row, announced that he was asked to create an idea for a prequel to the series. He said about it like this: "I was asked to come up with an idea for a Saints Row prequel!"
This means that the brand still has a chance for revival, although it is far from a full-fledged return. After Stockman presents his project, it still needs to be approved, and then a team capable of implementing the idea will be required. The main thing is that it should be a real Saints Row, and not a failed imitation.
Chris's full message looked like this:
"Guys and gals, I have good news! I was asked to come up with an idea for a Saints Row reboot! Can't say more, but my dreams about this game have become more than just dreams! Update: It's not a VR game. I'm really going back to the roots!"
