05/03/2012 - THQ Confirms New Saints Row 3 DLCThe Dominatrix has you.
THQ confirms development of Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix All science, just a little fiction. Seriously. AGOURA HILLS, CALIF. May XX, 2012 – The real
world may be a lie… but this announcement isn’t. THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI - News) and Volition, Inc.® are proud to announce the development
of Saints Row®: The ThirdTM – Enter The Dominatrix™, the groundbreaking standalone expansion
to Saints Row: The Third. No longer an April Fool’s dream, the outrageous game concept will be reality this fall. It’s
really happening.
Slated for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, for a suggested retail price of $29.99,
Saints Row: The Third – Enter The Dominatrix takes the award-winning, over-the-top action of Saints Row: The Third and
adds the most requested gameplay features from the Saints Row community: freaking super powers.
“Faster than
a speeding cyber jetbike, more powerful than a roided-out Luchadore, able to leap flying aircraft carriers in a single bound…
That’s the power you’ll find inside the Dominatrix. Use it for good. Use it for evil. Use it for whatever you
want. As always in Saints Row, it’s up to you,” said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President, Core Game Production,
THQ Inc. “With a franchise with more than 11 million units shipped globally, it’s incredibly gratifying to have
the flexibility to give Saints Row fans the features they want most.”
He later added, “Freaking
super powers.”
About Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix
Saints Row:
The Third - Enter the Dominatrix picks up immediately following the events of Saints Row: The Third. For centuries, alien
warlord Zinyak has eyed Earth and its precious natural resources and females with a watchful eye. As he prepares an
armada for invasion, he has only one worry: the Third Street Saints.
Once a simple street gang from Stilwater,
the Saints have evolved into a global empire, replete with bombastic TV advertising and tasteful consumer products, the kind
of TV advertising and consumer products that would give any alien warlord pause. Clearly, the Saints are the biggest badasses
on Earth.
Now, in order to prepare his forces for domination, Zinyak captures the leader of the Saints and
imprisons him in an elaborate virtual reality simulation. This simulation program looks and feels like Steelport, but it is
the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. Here, you are a slave. Welcome… to the Dominatrix.
More details and a first look at Saints Row: The Third – Enter the Dominatrix will be available this summer.
