Saints Row IV™ Commander in Chief Edition Announced
Delivering Justice, Americana-Style! Pre-order Items Include Incredibly Insane Weaponry, a Bad-ass Attack Bird and an Uncle Sam Uniform (Yeah, you heard that right!)
Larkspur, Calif., - April 22, 2013 – All hail POTUS as Deep Silver announces today that the Commander in Chief Edition for the upcoming Saints Row IV™ is available as a free upgrade to pre-orders at major freedom-retailers across North America. In this ball-busting, open-world and-other-PR-words installment in the Saints Row franchise, developer Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world.
But the leaders of the free world are under attack from an alien invasion in the land of the free, and it's up to you and your gang to save the world, Saints-style. To help you combat the alien terrorists you will encounter, the Commander in Chief Edition is a free upgrade for all pre-orders at participating retailers and comes fully loaded with a Screaming Eagle that fires rockets out of its talons and can invoke the "Sonic Scream" attack, leaving your enemies dazed, confused and likely scarred for life.
Additionally, if you're going to save the world you should look good while doing it, which is why the Commander in Chief gives you a limited-edition Uncle Sam uniform, made in the US of good 'ol A (apple pie not included.) And since you need the best [read: most ridiculously overpowered weapons ever conceived] fighting tools available, Volition and Deep Silver are giving you a stimulus package, "'Merica", full of incredibly astonishing firepower: flamethrowers, ultra-powered dub step guns and rocket launchers are yours for the taking. Crown thy good with brotherhood, indeed.
The Commander in Chief Edition is priced at $59.99 (console) and $49.99 (PC).
The Commander in Chief Edition will be available globally.
Saints Row IV launches August 20th, 2013 across North and Latin America and August 23rd worldwide.
