If you wanted to get a closer look at the customisation options that are in store for you ahead of Saints Row’s release this August, you’re in luck. Today, Volition unveiled its free to download Saints Row: Boss Factory.
As you may have guessed, Boss Factory offers you the chance to really get stuck into the game’s character creator and make your own Boss (or Bosses plural, as you can indeed have up to six of them saved) and then have them ready to go for Saints Row’s full release.
You will have access to all of the game’s Boss customisation options, bar special progression-locked items (so yes, you can play around with those modesty emojis to your heart’s content).
Additionally, anyone who does decide to download Boss Factory and then goes on to save and share a Boss will automatically receive two exclusive DJ Helmets in the full Saints Row game. That is, so long as its all done through the same platform account.
So, how exactly does one share a Boss?
Well, this is all done thanks to a seven-character share code that is generated with each Boss you create. This code can be given to anyone you wish to share it with, and they can then have a whirl with your creation in their own Saints Row gameplay. As well as this code, every creator will have their own display name that will be shown alongside their Bosses, so you can search for a specific person if you so wish.
