Saints Row IV
DEVOLVER DIGITAL AND DEEP SILVER BRING MORE WANG TO SHADOW WARRIOR
“I’m sorry I can’t really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world,” said Fork Parker, Devolver Digital CFO. “And I don’t know what to tell you other than you can now wield a giant purple dildo from Saints Row IV in Shadow Warrior. There’s your headline, nerds.”
Again, not sure what else to tell you all that hasn’t been summed up already. If you own Saints Row IV on Steam and purchase Shadow Warrior, you can literally use the big purple Penetrator in place of a katana in Shadow Warrior to sever the heads off of demons. We know, and yet we can’t really believe it ourselves.
Shadow Warrior is set to launch via Steam for PC on September 26, 2013. Saints Row IV is currently available for Steam, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

Christina Kniskern (Cirose) – QA Tester – Christina has been at Volition since 2008 and has worked on Saints Row 2, Red Faction: Armageddon, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and DLC.

He has several years of experience moderating forums for various communities in competitive semi-pro and casual settings for games such as Crysis 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty 2 and more. (Lots of 2’s!)
Ryan Mansfield (VRyan) – QA Tester – Ryan has worked on games for both the Saints Row and Red Faction franchises. He has also spent several years assisting in moderating forums and Twitch channels for MLG. With time on each platform, he has spent the majority of his time on Saints Row IV as part of the UI team.
You may notice certain support threads and subforums being moved or expanded while we attempt to sort everything out. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are all deeply committed to making sure that everyone can enjoy our games. You deserve nothing less.
