Saints Row Dev Volition Announces Agents of Mayhem

Volition, the studio behind the Saints Row series, has announced a new game. Like the Saints Row games, Agents of Mayhem is an open world action game set in a futuristic world.

According to IGN, which may announce the game exclusively, Agents of Mayhem is a single player game. The game appears to be set in the same universe as the games from the Saints Row series, but the exact connection will not be revealed until later.

Also, not much is clear about the gameplay. It is known that players control a squad of three agents, each with their own unique skills. Volition has released a cinematic trailer of over four minutes. Whether the graphic style from that trailer also returns in the same way in the game is not yet entirely clear. Judging by the published screenshots, the game appears to use cel shading.

Volition is likely to announce more about Agents of Mayhem at the E3 game show that starts next week. IGN says it will announce more about the game during the month of June. The game is slated to be released in 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
