Volition, of Saint’s Row and Red Faction fame, will be announcing a new IP at E3 this year, going by the LinkedIn page of Jacques Hennequet, a former Creative Director with the studio. Per Hennequet’s LinkedIn, he’s “worked with a number of familiar faces, old friends really and some new ones, on an IP that will be announced at E3 2016.”

Earlier this year, publisher Deep Silver stated that that they had a major announcement to make at E3, which was initially taken to mean a possible new Saint’s Row outing. However, other resume filings citing work on a title called Agents of Mayhem, and a trademark filing for the same by Koch Media–Deep Silver’s owners–seem to lend credence to the idea that, rather than a new Saint’s Row entry, we may be looking at an entirely new Volition franchise come E3.

Of course, deep down, we’re hoping it’ll be a Red Faction announcement, but considering how badly Armageddon tanked, that’s just wishful thinking. Are you excited about Volition’s new franchise? What do you think? Let us know!

Volition’s Steve Jaros, who has worked as creative director for the company on Saints Row The Third, Saints Row IV (including the upcoming port) and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, is leaving the company to work with Valve Software.

Sharing the news on Twitter, Jaros stated that, “The past 10 years at Volition have been life changing. I’ve gotten to work with amazing people and made friends that will last a lifetime. I’m super proud of the work we did on Saints Row, and am excited for what Volition does in the future, but it’s time for me to move on. I’m looking forward to new adventures at Valve Software.”

Jaros hasn’t revealed what he’ll be working on or in what position at Valve Software but it’s a momentous leap to be sure. Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell will be out on January 27th for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and PC.
