THQ and Volition officially announce Saints Row 3, which is actually titled Saints Row: The Third, saying the upcoming continuation of this open-world action series is due for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 this holiday season. As suspected, they promise the first real details about the sequel in the cover story in the April Game Informer magazine, which is shipping to subscribers "early" this month. For now, all they are offering is a slight dig at the rival Grand Theft auto franchise: "Saints Row: The Third puts you on top of the world, right at the beginning of the game, with all the perks that go along with being the head of an elite criminal organization," said Danny Bilson, THQ Executive Vice President, Core Games. "There’s no delivering pizza, no shuttling family members about in a long series of taxi missions. Instead, you take all the power of the Third Street Saints and you take the world by storm."
