Just announced just a few moments ago, Deep Silver has made it know that they’re bringing over perhaps the best Saints Row title, over to the Switch. That’s right, Saints Row: The Third is heading to the Switch.
As of right now, the only things we know about the port is that it will see a May 2019 release. That and the game is getting a new moniker, Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package. Guessing by that name, this is going to be more than just a simple port.

Seeing how this is making its way to the port, I really got to ask. Is everyone’s favorite purple weapon, the Penetrator, going to be present in the game? C’mon, that’s a valid question.
This story is developing and we’ll update as soon as we know more information about this port.
Here’s the official synopsis for the title:
Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you.
The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.
Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.
Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package comes with not only the main game, but also, the DLC that came out with it. So join the Saints, and take down the Syndicate.
Oh, and if you look at the credits for the game, you’ll find our very own Todd Black in them! Because he helped make the game!
