Early last month, THQ announced an expansion to Volition’s wildly popular dildo-bat simulator, Saints Row: The Third. This expansion, titled “Enter the Dominatrix,” has as of today been canceled. Yes, you read that right: canceled. That being said, have no fear, Saints Row fans. The now-canceled Enter the Dominatrix content will be incorporated into the next Saints Row game, title “The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise.” Yes, it’s a bit of a mouthful, but it fits the quirky nature of the Saints Row property.
“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,” said Jason Rubin, THQ’s President. “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. 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.”
Added Rubin, “We believe the potential for this sequel is far greater as a full-priced, full-length, high quality, connected experience.”
I’m definitely excited to see what new features Volition will be bringing to the fourth Saints Row title, and I can’t wait to see if it will provide even more entertainment than The Third. We’ll find out in 2013.
