Saints Row unveils big DLC roadmap to save the open-world flop

An in depth roadmap for 2023 has been revealed for the Saints Row reboot, delivering numerous free and paid expansions.

Volitions Saints Row reboot flopped and fell flat with quite a few critics and followers of the collection. Regardless of this, the sport just isn’t deserted, as a substitute a handful of paid in addition to free updates and DLCs are deliberate for 2023. What the roadmap has to supply, we summarise for you within the following overview

That is what the Saints Row roadmap for 2023 seems like

In a (official blog post) developer Volition has revealed what new content material and updates shall be hitting within the coming months. The deliberate DLCs are divided into two classes: one half is free for all gamers, the opposite is included within the paid Growth Cross (for round 30 Euros). 

The brand new recreation areas, that are at all times the linchpins of the Growth Cross expansions, can thus be explored by all gamers – and never solely by those that purchase the DLCs.

However be warned: Not all the deliberate expansions have concrete particulars or launch dates. Volition will share extra info on this within the coming weeks and months. For now, right here is an outline of the roadmap:

April 2023

• Free: A Beauty Pack to Lifeless Island 2

Could 2023

• Free: new borough Sunshine Springs, battle system overhaul, photograph mode and extra
• Value: New story missions, occasions, cosmetics and extra content material in replace The Heist and the Hazardous

July 2023

• Free: New options, enhancements and extra
• Value: New Solo Mode Doc Ketchum”s Homicide Circus

August 2023

• Free: New borough, new options, enhancements and extra
• Value: New story, missions, enemies, cosmetics and extra in an as-yet-unnamed growth

By the best way: On the similar time, developer Volition makes it clear that they haven”t reached the tip of the road with fixes and quality-of-life enhancements for Saints Row. Saints Row was suffering from quite a few technical issues, particularly on the time of launch, and never all of them have been mounted but.

In the meantime, the way forward for Saints Row and the collection basically remains to be up within the air. The Embracer Group behind Volition made no secret of the disappointing response from the press and followers, in addition to the poor gross sales figures (through Twitter).

QUOTE: Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors speaking right now to buyers about new Saints Row. He was bullish on it pre-release.

Doesn”t sound thrilled, however believes recreation will earn a living

“Personally I had hoped for a higher reception of the sport. It”s been a really polarized view…
