Saints Row 4 Confirmed: Will Include Enter the Dominatrix

More absolutely epic and ridiculous awesomeness coming your way in 2013.

Remember a while back when we told you that Saints Row the Third was going to get a new piece of DLC called Enter the Dominatrix? Scrap that knowledge, it’s now officially nonsense.

Instead THQ today revealed that the Enter the Dominatrix expansion has now been repacked and will be officially part of Saints Row 4, which means that the game will – and thank the lord for this – include super powers.

“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.

“We believe the potential for this sequel is far greater as a full-priced, full-length, high quality, connected experience.”

Enter the Dominatrix originally started out as an April Fool’s joke, but after extensive fan interest THQ caved and announced that the DLC would be coming later this year.

Saints Row the Third was one of my favourite games of last year. Myself and fellow Manatank writer Eric Pederson spent absolutely ages in that game creating epic moments, pretending to be toilets and playing the noble sport of ‘How far can we fling a pedestrian off a cliff?’.  The prospect of having super powers in Saints Row 4 makes me all the more excited to play it, as super powers plus the crazy minds of developers Volition means a truly epic sequel.
