Saints Row: The Third announced for Switch

Saints Row: The Third is coming to Switch, Deep Silver has announced. The news was just revealed during the Gamescom 2018 opening ceremony.

This is the first time that the Saints Row franchise will be appearing on a Nintendo system. Saints Row: Drive By was announced for 3DS never years ago, but was never shown or released.

As for Saints Row: The Third, the open world title was first released in 2011. We have an overview of the game below, along with a trailer.

Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you.

The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.

Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.

Saints Row: The Third launches for Switch in March 2019.
