#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
The design director of the original Saints Row says he fears the series is over, claiming his pitch for a potential prequel is being ignored by the IP’s owner Embracer Group.
Last November, Chris Stockman – who was design director on the first Saints Row before leaving Volition, and now works for VR studio Bit Planet Games – posted on the Saints Row Reddit page that he was planning to propose a prequel to the original game.

“Guys and gals, I have hopeful news,” Stockman wrote at the time. “I’ve been asked to create a pitch for a Saints Row reboot. I can’t say anything more than that but my dreams for this game just became a little more than just dreams.”
However, as spotted by X user @paparpg, Stockman recently revealed on Discord that Embracer wasn’t listening to his proposal and that he believed the series may be done.
