You play as a custom-created character who acts as the leader of the Saints, guiding them through a series of spectacular and hilarious missions. Saints Row: The Third picks up five years after Saints Row 2, with the Third Street Saints now existing as a massive media empire.

Packed with controversial content, wild characters, and tons of awesome guns and vehicles to use, Saints Row: The Third is an appropriately zany sequel in this wild open-world series. With three opposing gangs out for blood led by a sinister group known as the Syndicate, the Saints must band together and overtake the new turf via mayhem and destruction.

Taking place five years after the previous game, Saints Row: The Third sees the gang rising to riches and falling from grace, forced to reinforce their reputation in a brand new city. Myself, Minimaul, and gibbed will be working closely with Jeff over the coming months to use this information to create a robust set of modding tools to supplement our existing ones and creating what is essentially a full sdk for the game! But, that’s not all! Saints Row: The Third is only the beginning!Jeff has confirmed that he will also be digging up all the Saints Row 2 info that he can so we can do the same for it as well, and that this undertaking is actually a “test run” for Saints Row IV.So, what does this actually mean to the average Saints Row player? In simple terms, the modding community will finally be able to create and offer new clothing, new vehicles, new guns, new npcs, new missions, and even new world geometry which will greatly extend the life of the series and enhance the Saints Row games in ways we never even dared to dream of.Saints Row: The Third is a continuation of the raunchy open-world action franchise, which puts players in control of the fictional Third Street Saints gang. Jeff Thompson, the Studio Director of Programming at Volition, is putting together a package for us containing documentation, file formats, tools, and more on the Saints Row: The Third engine.
