Volition didn’t provide any timeline for the release of the mod tools (UPDATE: You can find them right here); it simply confirmed during its PAX Prime 2014 panel that a release is coming. Perhaps they’re coincide with the January 27 launches of Saints Row 4: Re-Elected, which brings the game to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, a standalone expansion coming to PC and PlayStation/Xbox consoles.

Whatever the plan is, putting mod tools in the hands of players only stands to make the PC version of the game that much better. Saints Row 4 is lots of fun, but its replay value is limited once you’ve seen and unlocked everything. With fan-created add-ons, a whole new realm of play possibilities opens up.
The Saints Row series started life at what amounted to a Grand Theft Auto clone at a time before Grand Theft Auto IV launched, when players were hungry for open world games on their still-new PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. The series has matured over the years (in a manner of speaking), embracing the inherent silliness that the first game hinted at. In Saints Row 4, the leader of the Third Street Saints — now President of the United States — confronts an alien menace in a bid to save the planet.
