Saints Row has got to be the most successful GTA knockoff to ever release. This isn't a backhanded compliment, by any means. Rockstar Games' line of open-world adventure titles is so iconic and influential that there is bound to be similar games and the Saints Row franchise just happens to be the best of them. They are, of course, great, fun games in their own right.

Now, Deep Silver Volition has announced that it wants to take the Saints Row series back to its roots, revealing the long-rumored reboot at Gamescom 2021.
