THQ has announced today that “Enter The Dominatrix”, the stand-alone DLC for their hit title Saints Row The Third, has in a round about way been cancelled.  Don’t be alarmed though, as the reason for this was to allow the team to continue to polish this massive undertaking, which will now be included as a built in feature for the fourth installment of the franchise, due out in 2013.

A statement from THQ president Jason Rubin should give you insight into their precise intentions:

“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.”
