Saints Row 4 is "end of that saga"

Volition has claimed that Saints Row 4 will be the "end of that saga" and future games in the franchise will go in a different direction.

Saints Row 4 turns the series' wackiness up another level by giving players the chance to play as the president of the United States, with added superpowers.

Saints Row 4 design director, Scott Phillips, said that what happens in this game will conclude the current story arc.

"We're definitely considering Saints Row 4 sort of the end of that saga of this character and the Saints as they are," he told GameReactor.

"So if there's any more future Saints Rows - which you know we always hope there will be, we hope there's fans for future games like that - they will probably continue in a different direction."

Saints Row 4 is launching 23 August for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Click here to check out the latest trailer.
