'''''Saints Row IV''''' was officially unveiled in March 2013 and released in North America on 20 August 2013 and worldwide shortly after on 23 August. The game is set five years after the events of ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]''. After the Saints stop a terrorist attack by Cyrus Temple on the United States, the Saints leader has been elected president. Soon after, an alien invasion occurs and the earth is overrun. The majority of the game is set in a simulation of Steelport created by the aliens to break the Saints' wills. In this simulation the Saints must fight against the enemy gangs of their past and their own worst fears.▼

Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[Klingons Love Shakespeare]]: Zinyak loves a lot of classic Earth culture including the works of Shakespeare and Jane Austen.
* [[Lazy Artist]]: [[Invoked]]. Zinyak deliberately ripped off the city design of Steelport for his virtual reality version, but added a bunch of stuff modeled after himself in place of the Saints themed stuff, which annoys the Boss to no end.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: After escaping the clutches of the Zin in a hijacked spaceship, the Boss recognises that the Saints are badly outmatched and just wants to make a run for it. Then {{spoiler|the Earth is blown up}}, which pisses the Boss off enough to decide to damn the odds and get payback.
* [[Same Character but Different]]: Provides an explanation for Shaundi's massive character change between the second and third game.
* [[Shallow Parody]]: Some aspects of the game are an obvious yet intentionally shallow ripoff of ''[[Mass Effect]]'', particularly the "romance the crew" parts.
* [[Sudden Gameplay Change]]: Some of the rescue missions become a totally different game genre.
** Matt Miller's mission turns into a visual novel esque adventure.
** Johnny Gat's is a ''[[Streets of Rage]]''-style [[Homage]] to the event of the second game, {{spoiler|
* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: It was no secret Johnny Gat was coming back.
