Chris Stockman, the design lead behind the original Saints Row, says he thinks the franchise is effectively finished after a stalled conversation with Embracer Group about a proposed prequel. Stockman, now running VR studio Bit Planet Games, reports that interest did not translate into continued engagement and the publisher has since stopped responding.

  • Stockman claims he pitched a Saints Row prequel to Embracer following Volition's closure but has not had follow-up communication.
  • Having helped shape the first game, Stockman believes the lack of response signals there is no appetite to revive the series right now.
  • He currently operates Bit Planet Games, focusing on VR projects rather than mainstream AAA development.
  • The situation highlights broader uncertainty about the future of Saints Row after corporate restructuring and studio shutdowns.
