Self Made Character
The Saints Row franchise has become known in particular over the episodes for its increasingly insane character customization, and this reboot will certainly be no exception to the rule. Volition even goes so far as to announce that it will be the series' most extensive character customization.
From the ruthless killer to the colorful jester, the possibilities to create a character according to your desires will seem to be there. As a reminder, the character embodied by the player is known by the pseudonym of the Boss. A young outlaw with dreams of conquest and glory in his head, seeking to make his place with his three friends in the criminal landscape of Santo Ileso.
Thus, it will be up to everyone to create their own Boss, whether it is gender, appearance and even voice. Four female voices and four male voices will thus be available. On the wardrobe side, the reboot of Saints Row should also satisfy the most aesthetes. A system of layers of clothing will be part of it, in order to offer his Boss a tailor-made outfit.
The same care should be given to vehicles, with many paint options, or on their different parts. All of this is obviously insured and well protected in its garage.

Gather the gang
Another intrinsic part of a Saints Row game is the co-op chaos. Since this reboot displays three characters accompanying the Boss, it will be possible to gather up to four future members of the Saints in the flesh.
Volition announces that this important part of the game will want to be as fluid as possible. Friends should be able to join and leave without transition or interruption for the party host. In addition, the reboot of Saints Row will support cross-generation, so that console players from the same manufacturer can freely play together. It remains to be seen whether cross-play in a more general way will be supported, as well as cross-save.
We'll be sure to learn more before the Saints Row reboot releases, announced February 25 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
