Canceled Enter The Dominatrix DLC Gets New Life As Saints Row IV Add-On
At San Diego Comic-Con’s Saints Row panel, Volition developers revealed more about what players can expect from the series’ fourth installment. In addition to Troy Baker having one-man conversation between “Booker DeWitt” and the Saints boss, there was some additional news for what’s coming down the line.
Readers might recall that on April Fools Day 2012, THQ revealed DLC for Saints Row: The Third titled Enter the Dominatrix. In the leadership transition that occurred later that year, the add-on was put on the shelf to be included as part of Saints Row IV.
Volition head Steve Jaros revealed that the Enter the Dominatrix content is safe and will be offered to players approximately 45 days after the title’s August 20 launch. Because of the bumpy road the content has had, it will offer some clever in-game "behind the scenes" commentary about the long road to release. Of course, more DLC is planned, but we’ll have to sit tight to find out what that is.
Our Take
This news is a bit surprising, as I’d assumed that Enter the Dominatrix served as the basis for Saints Row IV’s alien invasion. Volition was well into development on the DLC, which means that expenditures to get it ready for release (both money and time) should be lower.
