Saints Row might have been the worst-performing game in the franchise. As caught by X user Timur222, the LinkedIn profile of Tyrin Stevenson—formerly a social media and community manager at developer Volition—states that Saints Row only sold 1.7 million copies.
Going by the LinkedIn page, Stevenson worked at Volition from May 2022 until the studio’s closure in 2023. Commercial performance of Saints Row seemed to have been disappointing enough that Volition was shut down back in 2023.
While Saints Row title was essFruit Slot Gamesentially a reboot for the entire franchise, featuring an entirely new set of characters in a new setting, and with a different mood and theme when compared to its predecessors, rumours from back in November indicated that the game was originally going to feature older characters returning.
According to these rumours, characters like Shaundi, Dex, Aisha, and Johnny Gat were planned to return in the game, before the pitch was turned down by Deep Silver in favour of the reboot.
