Deep Silver announced today that Saints Row IV will be releasing August 23rd. The game will be coming to Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. No announcements were made about the game coming to next-gen systems, and since the game will be releasing before the next-gen systems do it’s unlikely it will ever come to them.
Saints Row IV will also be the final entry in the franchise, meaning that Volition probably have ideas for a new franchise they would like to bring to the next generation.
