In that video, the development team spoke of the PSP game's impressive open world with an enthusiasm that its publisher didn't quite share.įor more on the newly recovered Saints Row: Undercover, you can check out a series of design documents that Volition shared alongside yesterday's stream. Despite this, the game itself is unfinished, although Volition confirmed it made it far into development prior to publisher THQ axing it.Ī glimpse of the unreleased Saints Row title was first seen in a documentary short on Volition's YouTube channel last week. Saints Row: Undercover works with any PSP emulator, and is fully playable, according to Unseen64. The ISO file is hosted by gaming archival site Unseen64, which claims that Volition gave it hosting privileges of the download. The developer showed off the title on a livestream yesterday, during which it dropped a link to download the prototype. For those of you who missed their livestream of Saints Row Underground (through which the download link was first revealed), it should still be up here.Volition Software has now made its previously canceled PSP game Saints Row: Undercover available to download for free. You will need a modified PSP to run it, but such a thing isn’t hard because Sony no longer updates the firmware and you can just download a mod to your memory card.Īnd there’s more: Volition has also released a 122-page PDF presentation of the game’s proposed story, features and mechanics, plus a smaller walkthrough PDF. The ISO for Saints Row Undercover has been made available at Unseen64, the Net’s widest archive of unreleased game content and beta footage.

I think most of you would agree that this doesn’t happen often enough. Since Saints Row Underground was never completed, it’ll be full of bugs and glitches and will probably freeze on you a lot, but despite this, it’s a lost piece of gaming history that its developers agreed should be allowed to roam free. First they show us a previously unknown Saints Row game for PSP that was cancelled awhile ago, and now they’re giving us the beta ROM for free.
