Don’t call it a comeback, but Saints Row, Volition’s sandbox game that struggled for sales and acclaim in 2022, is gearing up for a massive overhaul thanks to a major lineup of DLC, including additional maps, modes, quests, and more. cosmetic items. . everything is set for the drip in 2023. Will that be enough to keep people coming back? Is the goodwill towards Saints Row 2 and Saints Row The Third strong enough? Will is definitely on full blast, so hopefully.
Saints Row’s DLC roadmap kicks off in humble style with a free Dead Island 2 cosmetic pack, launching in April. Given some of the criticism we’ve received in our own Saints Row review, naturally, more would be needed to fix the open-world gameplay, but Volition has a lot up its sleeve.
In May, a free update adds a whole new neighborhood to the city of Santo Ileso, as well as an overhaul of the Saints Row battle system and the addition of a photo mode; again everyone will get everything absolutely free.
However, if you have the Saints Row Expansion Pass, you’ll also get new quests, events, and cosmetics through the Heist and Peril DLC. Did you buy the expansion pass? Anyway, you can buy Heist and Hazardous separately.
July will bring another free update that will introduce additional features (though we’re not sure which ones yet), as well as numerous quality of life fixes.
There will also be an all-new single-player mode called “Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus,” which Volition says will take place in “an (even more) twisted version of one of our favorite Santo Unleso neighborhoods.” More information is expected soon. Like the Heist and Hazardous Pack, Murder Circus will be available to anyone with an Expansion Pass or purchased separately.
And finally, in August, there will be a new free space, more quality of life changes, and some more anonymous new stuff. Expansion Pass holders will also receive a third pack containing additional missions, enemies, and cosmetic items, and, again, you can purchase this separately.
So, in summary, it looks like Saints Row is going through a complete transformation from top to bottom over the course of 2023, with massive DLC coming in May, July, and August. Will this be enough to bring people back to Santo Ileso? We love a good redemption story, so let’s hope so.
