Saints Row IV box art destroys D.C.

Packaging revealed for regular and Commander in Chief editions

Regular edition

Regular edition

In Saints Row IV's newly revealed box art, these gang colors don't run. The open-world game casts players as the President of the United States and its packaging reflects its executive office. By "reflects its executive office" we mean blows up the Oval Office and half of Washington D.C.

We can see Shaundi and Kinzie behind the Boss in Chief, and a mutant Saints Flow mascot exacting its revenge on the Washington Monument in the normal box art above.

Commander in Chief edition

Commander in Chief edition

And in the pre-order-only Commander in Chief edition we can see (through the Presidential Aviators) the same Mascot giving Capitol Hill what-for, and one of the game's alien invaders blasting away in our general direction.

Saints Row IV will hit on August 20 in the U.S. and August 23 in the U.K, for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
