Saints Row 2 gets release date

THQ has announced that Saints Row 2 is coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 26th.

In the US, anyway - it's not yet clear if the game will get a simultaneous release in Europe. (Update: A THQ spokesperson has now told us it's a "global" date. That reminds us of another game, you know. Any ideas, readers?)

The news came at THQ's Gamers Day event in San Francisco, currently being attended by our very own Tom. He's also reporting that there's no sign of Dawn of War 2 at the event, despite the game having been announced yesterday.

Oh well. In the meantime you can visit the new Saints Row 2 website, if that's your sort of thing, or learn more about the game via the gamepage.
