THQ has revealed that Saints Row: The Third will be getting DLC for nearly a year post launch. The publisher also announced that pre-orders for the game will surpass those for Saints Row 2 in a couple of weeks.
“Saints Row’s digital ecosystem will contain the most comprehensive suite of digital content across our portfolio, including a season pass, micro-transactions, planned DLC offerings for nearly a year post launch, game add-ons, consumables and an in-game store,” THQ CEO Brian Farrell said during an investor call last night.
According to Farrell, THQ hopes to bring in an additional 20 per cent in revenue with post-release add-on content.
“We think with another couple of weeks we’ll surpass the pre-orders for Saint’s Row 2 and we’re still 15 weeks from launch,” he added.
The success of the Saints Row franchise is in stark contrast to Volition’s other series, Red Faction. THQ put a bullet in Red Faction last night due to poor sales.
