The game features an original storyline and Volition's trademark over-the-top open-world type of gameplay. Agents of Mayhem shares certain story elements with Saints Row. The two titles, since they exist in a single universe, have a lot in common, like symbolism and design cues.

In a statement acquired by Gematsu, Deep Silver said, "Building on the skill of the AAA studio to continuously surprise, endear, and engage players, Agents of Mayhem represents the culmination of over a decade of open world experience and creativity."

Agents of Mayhem gives players a chance to pick from 12 diverse agents to take down the opposing faction. Players will control a team composed of three agents.
