With all of the explosions, gunfire, groin punches, superhero flight, quick cuts and overwhelming action jammed into this debut teaser trailer for Saints Row IV, we think it would be easier for everyone involved if you simply watched the video for yourself before we discuss it with you.

Oh, and also… Saints Row IV is coming!

Saints Row 4 Announce Teaser

Whoa. That was overwhelming!

According to the trailer, Saints Row IV is out on August 20th in North America, and August 23rd in Europe and the UK.

This puts Volition and Deep Silver’s first collaboration a little over a month ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto V, but are the two games even comparable at this point? From the looks of the trailer above, Volition is going even further and crazier than Saints Row 3, pushing it past the boundaries of recognition as an open-world action game in the same vein as a Grand Theft Auto game.
