Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell and Re-Elected are coming one week earlier!

By Will Fulton Published October 15, 2014

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, the standalone spinoff of Saints Row IV, will now arrive on January 20, 2015, a week earlier than originally promised. Gat Out of Hell will be available for download only on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and will also be available bundled with Saints Row IV: Re-Elected. Both Gat and Re-Elected arel also coming to PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.

Gat Out of Hell casts you as Johnny Gat and Kinzie Kensington in their quest to rescue the President of the United States/leader of the Saints from the underworld city of New Hades. Just as Saints Row IV raised the increasingly ridiculous stakes of the wry, open-world series by introducing aliens and a Matrix-like simulated world, Gat Out of Hell will pump up the supernatural with demons, deceased historical figures, and a gun that shoots swarms of locusts. Needless to say, we’re excited.

Although built on the same engine as Saints Row IV, Gat out of Hell stands alone as a downloadable game for $20 that does not require SRIV to play, unlike typical DLC. It’s similar to the way Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was handled, a standalone game that recast the engine of Far Cry 3 in ’80s sci-fi action neon for one of the most delightful surprises of 2013.

Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell and Saints Row IV: Re-Elected will be available for PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox platforms on January 20, 2015.

Blades of Fire is the most surprising game I played at GDC 2025

Key art for Blades of Fire.

I went into my Blades of Fire demo at GDC 2025 with little hype or expectation. I came out ridiculously excited about it.

If you haven't heard of Blades of Fire, it's a new action game all about forging from MercurySteam, the developer behind Metroid Dread and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. Its gameplay feels Souls-inspired, but it sticks out from any other action game I've played in how combat works. Not only do players need to forge their own weapons and upkeep them through repairs with gathered resources, but they also need to be very specific on where and how they attack enemies.

We're living in something of a horror game renaissance as of late. Besides all the great games that have come out already, there are tons of upcoming video games like Directive 8020 and Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic that promise even more sleepless nights. Bloober Team has a long history with the horror genre, most recently delivering one of the best video game remakes with Silent Hill 2. The team's next project isn't another remake, but a new IP set in a new survival horror setting. Called Cronos: New Dawn, this next project shares a lot of similarities with games like Dead Space, but can it live up to the new standards the studio has set for itself? Let's see what we can discover about Cronos: New Dawn.
