Saints Row 2013 sequel swallows Enter the Dominatrix expansion
As THQ tries to get its house in order following financial crisis, the publisher has announced that Volition's standalone expansion Saints Row: The Third - Enter the Dominatrix will be rolled into a "full-fledged" sequel due out next year.
As THQ tries to get its house in order following a financial crisis, the publisher has announced that Volition's standalone expansion Saints Row: The Third - Enter the Dominatrix will be rolled into a "full-fledged" sequel due out in 2013. Bad news: no new Saints Row to play in September. Good news: full sequel next year, tentatively named 'The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise.'
THQ's new president, Naughty Dog co-founder Jason Rubin, said in today's announcement that he "was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise" when he saw it. The expandalone was to send the Third Street Saints into a Matrix-y virtual world.
"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."
He added, "We believe the potential for this sequel is far greater as a full-priced, full-length, high quality, connected experience."
As recently as May 15, Enter the Dominatrix was slated for release in September. Plans are changing quickly and boldly at THQ, which is possibly for the best. The publisher also recently revealed that Vigil's Warhammer 40,000 MMORPG Dark Millenium is no longer an MMO, but being reworked into "an immersive single player and online multiplayer experience."

I am completely okay with this.

I am also ok with this jc-triple-one

Holy hell, I think you just discovered what my name would be if I were a droid in the Star Wars universe.

The BDSM fan in my dungeon is excited for this.
-
2013 already? This cannot be a good sign.
-
Love Saints Row but I worry that for a game of its scope it won't have enough time in the oven.
-
On the plus side they won't have to develop a new engine this time

Nope. Everything related to the pass has already been released. Enter the Dominatrix was supposed to be stand-alone (basically because it changes the entire game world).
-
(I'm assuming they are going to have a complete cyberspace representation of Steelport to create a more Prototype-like parallel world, judging from the "super powers" of the last DLC).
-
(ALSO they could make the entire virtual world geo-mod desctructible so it does not influence gameplay in the real one and on top of that add Earth Defense Force like silliness and then we would basically have the best sandbox game ever made)

The only negative to this is that I don't get more SR3 this year.

So bought.
