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.

More than a year after its Computex 2025 debut, the Pulsar Feinmann F01 Noctua Edition gaming mouse is finally ready to launch. Sales begin through Pulsar’s online store on July 21 at 4 p.m. KST, although pricing has not yet been announced.

We also saw the mouse at Computex 2026, where it appeared much closer to a finished retail product. Its defining feature remains the tiny Noctua fan built into the shell, designed to push air toward your palm during long gaming sessions.

Gaming against AI could make you more confident with real teammates

Turns out getting beaten by bots wasn't the worst thing after all

Artificial intelligence is often blamed for making people less social. Whether it's AI replacing conversations, reducing teamwork, or making gaming feel less human, the narrative has largely remained the same. But a new study suggests the opposite could also be true. In fact, AI might be quietly encouraging people to spend more time with their friends.

Researchers studying PUBG: Battlegrounds have found that introducing AI-controlled opponents into multiplayer matches didn't isolate players. Instead, it made them more confident, kept them playing longer, and even encouraged them to squad up with friends more often. The findings, which will appear in the journal Information Systems Research, offer an interesting perspective on how AI can improve user experiences rather than simply automating them.
