    THQ, in coordination with Game Informer magazine, have officially announced the third game in the Saints Row series. It’s called Saints Row: The Third, and while the first real bits of juicy information won’t see the light of day until a reveal in the upcoming April issue, GI digital had these interesting morsels to share: Saints Row: The Third will be set in a brand new city in which a battle will need to be waged against a seedy criminal organization called The Syndicate. Oh, and your Third Street Saints? Yeah, they're coming back.
     

    No Caption Provided

    “Saints Row: The Third puts you on top of the world, right at the beginning of the game, with all the perks that go along with being the head of an elite criminal organization,” said THQ VP Danny Bilson said in a sharp statement. “There’s no delivering pizza, no shuttling family members about in a long series of taxi missions. Instead, you take all the power of the Third Street Saints and you take the world by storm.”

    Saints Row: The Third will see a release at some point this “holiday season” for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

    As long as this game can match the absurdity of Saints Row 2, I'm sold.

    You know what Saint's Row? I love you, you're great and all, but you just aren't good enough to be making fun of GTA IV. You've been doing it for a while, but truth is: you haven't earned the right yet.

    There's a large contigent of us who much prefer SR2 and think GTA4 is garbage. We prefer the GTA:SA style that SR2 emulates, just saying.

    The GTA radical extremists above need to relax.  If you're not ready for it just don't play it.  The rest of will be enjoying one of the best series this gen.  Take er easy.

    Don't really dig the "The Third" thing. Just reminds me of Shrek and that's never a good thing. I loved the first two Saints Row games and I hope this one continues the tradition. I have to agree that GTA has become way too serious. I'm just glad Saints Row was there to pick up the slack.

    Don't respond to him. He gets his jollies off by trolling topics once and then leaving forever. 
     
    I'm just happy they finally, officially announced this. Also, covers like this make me realize how much I love Game Informers new redesign. Minimalism is always appreciated. I'm glad at least some magazines realize you don't need to put fifty-million things on the front to get it to sell.

    I think I'll pass on this one until I can pick it up for $20 or so. I liked both Saints Row games, just not enough to pick up another one at release. There are just so many games I really want coming out this year it''s fucking ridiculous. It seems like way more than any other year I can think of. At least until half of them get delayed when the new Call of Duty is announced.

    I'll go to Grand Theft Auto when I want a meaningful, powerful, badass gaming experience. 
     
    I'll go to Saints Row when I want an insane-asylum-grade-smear-shit-on-the-walls-bat-shit-crazy gaming experience.

    So as the leader of the Saints I wonder if you'll be sending Saints out on "Insurance Fraud" and "Septic Avenger" missions. AC Brotherhood Style :)  
     
    Na it wouldn't be Saints Row if you didn't get your hands dirty.  
      
    Really looking forward to this one.

    I kind of liked grinding on story and side missions to upgrade the hideout, gang members, vehicles and whatnot. The Saint's Row games have a great sense of open-world progression that nearly all other contemporary open-world games lack. Hopefully they keep the momentum going for a great and under-appreciated franchise.

    I love the first two games and I've been playing through the first one again to pick up some achievements.  Then I'll play through the second and pick up some achievements that I missed in it as well.
