Saints Row: The Third’s upcoming wacky DLC expansion, Enter the Dominatrix will no longer launch on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network as a standalone pack, as THQ boss Jason Rubin has just announced that the content will be incorporated in the next fully fledged installment in the series.
According to Rubin:
When I looked at the Enter The Dominatrix expansion in production at Volition, I was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise.
I asked the team what it could achieve given more time, more resources, and a broader scope for the project. We all agreed we wanted to play that game.
Rubin’s excitement for the next Saints Row title comes as a bit of a surprise, considering his recent comments on the series. The THQ head went on to elaborate that by making this a full retail product, the team will be able to run with the creatively ambitious ideas they’ve come up with in a way that would be limited by an expansion pack.
When it comes to Saints Row, it’s clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top, and that’s why Enter The Dominatrix will now be incorporated into a vastly expanded, full-fledged sequel, scheduled for calendar 2013.
