Looking forward to Saints Row: The Third's super-powered expansion pack Enter The Dominatrix later this summer? Well, you can forget about that right now, because THQ and Volition have bigger plans for it. Instead of releasing it as DLC, SR3: ETD will be incorporated into the next game in the franchise, currently going under the tentative title "The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise."

"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, President of THQ. "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," Rubin added.

It was also revealed that the profits for the reworked production won't come around until the financial year that ends in 2014. This means that "Saints Row 4: Enter The Dominatrix" (I just made up that title. Cool, huh?) will likely release sometime after April 2013.
