saintsrow3rdoct

During an interview with X-Play, which airs tomorrow, THQ’s Danny Bilson revealed that Volition is already working on Saints Row 4. According to Bilson: “I already know what Saint’s Row 4 is about, and it is wilder than this one. It’s a good example of how you take what you have and you say, ‘What can happen in the next?’” You can hear him say so himself in the clip below, which was culled from the episode airing tomorrow night on G4 at 6.30pm EST. Saints Row: The Third is out November 15 in the US and November 18 in the UK. Thanks, G4.
