This Gamescom trailer set the comical tone as the new gang caused chaos in a city set in the American southwest called Santo Ileso. According to the trailer’s description, this is the biggest Saints Row.
Actor Bryce Charles, who plays the protagonist, spoke about Voilition’s willingness to go back to the drawing board and take a “fresh approach” with this one. There will be new gangs and characters, including the Boss’ crew, Neenah, Kevin and Eli. The four want to be a self-made gang and earn their own success and will have to go against the antagonistic forces like Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall. Los Panteros was the gang in the trailer and all three have a stronghold on the city.
