Saints Row Ultimate Customization Showcase Announced For Next Week

If you’re excited about the new Saints Row, which was delayed last year to its new August 23 release date, then keep an eye out for a special showcase happening next Wednesday, April 20. 

More precisely, Volition has announced that it is holding a Saints Row “Ultimate Customization Showcase” on April 20, with special host Mica Burton. As for what to expect, Volition doesn’t share too much, but the name says it all: it’s going to be about the multitudes of customization options in Saints Row, and the image that accompanies the announcement tweet features some of the zany options we can expect. 

The tweet shows a Saints Row character with a brightly colored gun and a pinata atop. Plus, they’re wearing some very 2010 shades and a bombastic outfit to match. Previous looks at Saints Row (including what we saw when it was) are not available. Game Informer’s cover story back in October, have shown a more grounded take on the increasingly-fantastical series, this new tweet seems to suggest it’s not ditching the wild customization of later Saints Row titles. 

A press release states that “player choice and customization are core pillars in the Saints Row series. Next week’s showcase highlights how this new entry not only continues these pillars but also takes it to new heights.” “Volition has removed the boundaries of gender and restrictions for players – put anything on without limits or rules. Saints Row brings customization of weaponry and vehicles to the forefront, with many never seen options. Saints Row puts player choice first. 

The Saints Row Ultimate Customization Showcase can be viewed on YouTube or Twitch on April 20, 12 p.m. ET/8 p.m. British Standard Time/9: p.m. CEST. This is the link to watch while you wait for Wednesday. Game Informer exclusive look at Saints Row’s opening missions, and then watch this video showcasing the Saints Row wingsuit in action.
