Developer Volition and publisher Deep Silver are celebrating the North American release of Saints Row 4 with a launch trailer that’s designed to focus on the core improvements of the new game, while also deploying its trademark irony.

Players can take a look at how the Third Street Saints have risen to become one of the most important forces on Earth before jumping straight into the action in order to stop and alien invasion with a wide array of superpowers.

The highlights of the game include a weapon that fires dubstep and another that can deploy black holes.

Players will be able to engage in a number of legal and illegal activities and interact with their favorite characters from the franchise’s past.

Saints Row 4 is now available in North America and the game will also be live in Europe on August 23.
