A lot of people have gotten the impression that work on Saints Row IV only started following the sale of the franchise after THQ collapsed. That€™s not the case at all. Saints Row IV has been developed from a planned expansion of Saints Row: The Third, titled Enter the Dominatrix. When the developers realised how ambitious and how great the idea for the expansion was, they decided to turn it into a fully-fledged game. This means that the game has technically been in development since Saints Row: The Third was released. Considering other games that manage to release quality sequels annually (Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed) a two year turnaround for a new Saints Row game is plenty of time to make it great.
