- The OG director has stated that he has been approached to pitch a Saints Row prequel.
- He previously showed his intent towards the project with a 70s setting.
- Stockman also openly criticized 2022’s reboot, calling it needless and a bad idea.
The last Saints Row game, released in 2022, was nothing less than a mess. It had terrible reviews and didn’t even sell that well. The reboot was nothing the fans expected, but now they might get something that could work out well.
The original Saints Row director has revealed that he has been asked to create a pitch for a potential prequel by Embracer. He previously showed his intent to return to the series with the OG team, and this could soon become a reality.
Why it matters: The director recently also criticized the reboot, calling it a bad idea, and that a mainline entry would’ve made much more sense.
Chris Stockman broke the news on Reddit, stating that he has been approached to put forward his pitch for the prequel; however, that is all the information he can currently disclose. But we have an idea of the setting.
I have hopeful news! I’ve been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row reboot! I can’t say anything more than that but my dreams for this game just became a little more than just dreams
– Chris Stockman
The director revealed that he has a vision for a Saints Row prequel with a 70s setting. He is so passionate about it that he said he’d even secure the funding himself, and that he just wants his OG team to work on it.
Stockman left Volition shortly after the release of the original Saints Row and created his own studio, with a primary focus on VR games. He has also confirmed that the prequel won’t be a VR project but a complete console title.
