After the recent closing of THQ and with it the selling of various studios and IPs, it was quite unknown as to where Saints Row 4 would end up. Today however it seems that question has been answered, in the form of Deep Silver announcing Volition's next title, Saints Row 4.

In the next open-world installment of Saints Row, Deep Silver Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. In Saints Row IV, the head honcho of the Saints has been elected to the Presidency of the United States. But the Saints are just getting started. Now the larger-than-life insanity of the Saints series gets a new twist with a catastrophic alien invasion, and the aliens have transported the Saints to a bizarro-Steelport simulation. Wield gargantuan superpowers and fight to free humanity from alien granddaddy Zinyak's mental grasp. Escape the simulation that's trapped the Saints crew, or die trying.

Saints Row IV lets players delve into an arsenal of alien weaponry and technology that will turn each Saint into an ultimate entity of destruction. Utilize out-of-this-world superpowers to fight all the way to the top. With intensified action and enhanced customization, players can use their newfound superpowers and leap over buildings, outrun the fastest sports cars, or send enemies flying with telekinesis in the greatest, most insane installment of Saints Row yet.

Players eager to get their hands on the Volition's next title won't have to wait long it with Saints Row 4 coming to current-gen consoles and PC on August 23rd. Check out the teaser trailer below as well as a few screenshots showing off the telekinetic powers you'll be able to wield.
