Volition’s first reveal of its upcoming Saints Row reboot did not, it’s fair to say, seem to bare much in common with the series of old. A few gameplay snippets that followed helped bridge the divide, but a newly revealed look at some early missions has given the clearest indication yet of how Volition is looking to revitalise its ageing sandbox series.
As shared by GameInformer, the new nine-minute pre-alpha gameplay video offers a look at two early story missions: Making Rent and Idol Threat. The first of these takes place before the Saints are even officially formed, with The Boss and the game’s core supporting – Kevin, Neenah, and Eli, all previously members of rival gangs – orchestrating a robbery on a loan office to raise some cash.
