Deep Silver - the guys who have picked up the Saints Row publishing rights from the now-defunct THQ - have announced that they'll be bringing a fourth entry in the Saints Row series to current-gen platforms this year.

Developer by Volition once again, Saints Row IV will release on August 20th in the US, and on the 23rd elsewhere. The game continues the story of the Third Street Saints as they become leaders of the free world. The head honcho is now the President of the United States. Sounds great already, does it not?

Facing off against an alien invasion, the characters in the new game will be able to use newfound superpowers in the form of telekinesis and the ability to leap over buildings.

An announce trailer has been released, and we've got that for you below. We're expecting that this will make the jump to next-gen in due course, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
