Enter the Dominatrix becomes part of new Saints sequel

The release of the standalone Saints Row: The Third expansion, Enter the Dominatrix, has been cancelled, and will instead form part of a new full-length Saints game.

Plans to release Enter the Dominatrix as a standalone expansion for Saints Row: The Third have been shelved, THQ has announced.

Instead, the content will be rolled in to a new full-length, full price Saints Row game. THQ's new president, Jason Rubin, said:

"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.

"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."

As a result of the change of plans, THQ has warned that it expects net sales revenue to fall $20 million for the 2013 fiscal year, when compared with previously-announced guidance.
