THQ Has Confirmed That Saints Row Will Return This Fall.

THQ's just slapped an Fall release date on the (weirdly) anticipated sequel. The company teased news on the game's release date yesterday.

CEO Brian Farrell made the announcement at THQ's quarterly earnings call this morning, explaining, "In the Fall, we plan to launch the latest installment of our Saints Row franchise, which we view as a significant growth driver in fiscal 2012.

"Volition is setting a new bar for this outstanding franchise and we look forward to unveiling this game in the near future."

Pressed for more information on the game, Farrell replied, "I have been placed under a very tight gag order by our Saints Row team. Hang in there: you're going to love it."

Anyone excited about this? People are weirdly stoked around the net. We had no idea Saints Row was so popular.
