Deep Silver is pleased to announce Saints Row: The Third Remastered is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Epic Games Store on May 22 for $39.99.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is the improved and updated version of the original game that debuted in 2011. As with all remastered games coming to current generation consoles, gamers can look forward to retextured environments, character models, and visual effects. In addition, all three expansion packs and more than 30 pieces of downloadable content that was previously released will be included as well.
Fans who missed out on the original release back in 2011, should definitely look forward to the remastered version on May 22.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Deep Silver:
Saints Row: The Third Remastered gives you control of the Saints at the height of their power, and you live the life to show for it. This is your city. These are your rules. Remastered with enhanced graphics, Steelport the original city of sin has never looked so good as it drowns in sex, drugs, and guns.
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks, and Johnny Gat bobblehead dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute.
Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and fight against a highly trained military force by your lonesome in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen.
About the Enhancements
