Agents of Mayhem, the latest over-the-top open-world action game from the madmen responsible for Saints Row, is almost here. To celebrate, the game’s developers have dropped a final launch trailer featuring a pretty sick Agents of Mayhem theme song, and revealed five unique things you can only do in the game. Check those out, below:

Triple-Jump
A lot of games over the years have utilized the physics-defying “double jump,” but we put our heads together to think about how we could one-up the status quo, and we did exactly that! In order to raise the bar, all 12 playable agents in Agents of Mayhem come equipped with a standard TRIPLE-JUMP to traverse the towering high-rises of our interpretation Seoul, South Korea.
Our Game’s Got Seoul
Volition has always had kind of a fetish for setting games in cities whose names start with ‘S’ — Stilwater, Steelport, and now Seoul! When creating the hand crafted open-world, we wanted to find a location that conveyed the global theme of the game, and Seoul does exactly that.
You Can Turn Things Into Cabbits
You might be asking yourself, “What’s a cabbit? Is that some sort of weird rabbit/cat hybrid?” Well, the answer is YES! Little known fact — cabbits have made an appearance in almost every single Volition game, and Agents of Mayhem is no exception. You can craft consumable items called “Gremlin Tech” and throw these items at enemies to turn them from violent into adorable (but explosive) Cabbits!
Dark Matter Technology
Paving the way for innovation in dark matter research everywhere, Agents of Mayhem uses the material to power most of their high-tech weaponry, specifically their ability to teleport! Dark matter teleportation is the essential cornerstone for gameplay in Agents of Mayhem, because this is the technology that enables agent-swapping! Yes, that’s right, you take three agents into the field at any given time for any given mission. Agent-swap allows you to create fun combinations of special and mayhem abilities, or simply to swap and let an agent heal up until then can get back in the fight!
Fight a Pop Super Star
Without giving away too many spoilers, there is a mission in the game where you have to hunt down and fight a pop idol. Obviously, because they’re evil. However, you have to do this on a stage surrounded by cheering fans… at their own concert…by hacking and turning off their autotune.
Agents of Mayhem blows things up real good on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 tomorrow (August 15).
