Earlier this year, one of our favorite game publishers of the past two decades, THQ, took a hard hit and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. On January 22, the company sold off all but one of its studios and related properties during an auction. The future of the popular series Saints Row wasn’t looking good, as fans didn’t know if they would ever see a new installment. Deep Sliver decided to pick up the franchise not knowing how the game could turn out, leaving us hesitant of what would come.

Here are five reasons why.
