Volition and Deep Silver have announced that Saints Row has been delayed until August 23rd 2022, a six-month delay from the game's original February 25th release date.

Saints Row is a reboot of Volition's Saints Row franchise, and in an announcement on the game's official website, Volition's Chief Creative Officer Jim Boone has stated that the company's priority is "to create the best Saints Row game yet", saying that their game would not meet the studio's high standards if they released the game on their original February 25th release date. "The team just need more time to do our vision justice", the studio's update claims. 

Following the lacklustre launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Definitive Edition, it is clearer than ever that quality matters. The Saints Row franchise started as a GTA-like franchise, making the failure of Rockstar's remastered GTA classics highly relevant. Gamers expect better, and given the age of Grand Theft Auto V, Saints Row has the potential to garner a lot of interest from GTA's fanbase. If Rockstar doesn't release a new game, GTA fans may look elsewhere. 

A 6 month delay is not all that bad if that is what it takes to ensure the game is a high standard.
