The German developer then cryptically states “more info to be revealed in due course” with the hashtag “gamescom.”
Tuesday is the kickoff day for Gamescom, a five day event held in Cologne, Germany. Gamescom is the largest gaming event Europe has to offer, and the reveals started early this year with various developers and studios hinting at what they will have to display.
In the game, players must lead the Third Street Saints gang in a bid to overtake its rivals in the city. The game – as well as the series as a whole, has seen comparisons be made between itself and Grand Theft Auto thanks to its open world setting and the weapons and vehicles which can be used to charge through the city.
Saints Row: The Third originally released in 2011 for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. There’s no date yet for when the game hits the Switch.
