Missions in Saints Row IV

Template:Upcoming Missions provide the narrative of Saints Row IV.

Description

During development on Saints Row IV, Volition, Inc. targeted mission structure as a key area for improvement. Speaking to Polygon, they explained that players' use of the cellphone to retrieve missions in Saints Row: The Third felt disconnected from the game's narrative.

Design Director Scott Phillips said that Saints Row IV's missions have been changed to "more of a quest log structure" and that the missions "are more organized". Phillips believes that it's "just a better structure to pull people through the game".Broken {{ref}} (blank parameter)

The plot is divided into Quests. Each Quest may have multiple objectives. Objectives may include Missions, Activities, Diversions, Challenges or simply using a store. Missions and Activities have standard completion screens which show the title, while Objectives and Quest completion messages appear on-screen.
