The dark carnival returns with Saints Row: Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus

It may have split the gaming community, but we loved the newly rebooted Saints Row. That said, we weren’t overly keen on The Heist and the Hazardous expansion which tried to build on things. Perhaps the arrival of the latest Saints Row content will tempt us in again. The question is, will you be visiting the Saints Row: Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus?

A return to the madness?

Saints Row: Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus is the latest addition to the newly rebooted, open worlding of Saints Row. Present and correct across all the formats you can find the base game on – Xbox, PlayStation, PC – this one delivers some new, rather crazy, opportunities. 

Priced at £7.99, this Murder Circus isn’t going to break the bank, but it still promises a fairly decent chunk of content. 

It focuses on how the dark carnival has returned, rocking up in Boot Hill as the titular Doc Ketchum goes about streaming his Murder Circus to the world. It’s here where you come in. 

Playing as one of the contestants of the Murder Circus, you’ll be tasked with surviving as best you can. Utilising skills you may have never used before, brutality and perseverance will come to the fore with what Deep Silver are delivering. 

Saints Row: Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus adds new weapons

Thankfully you’ll have access to new weapons too. We all know that Saints Row is famous for its arsenal and the arrival of this new DLC changes little. Expect to find a Darkshot rifle to hand, as well as a Harlech LMG. There’s a shotgun present too – that of the Bulldog – whilst a Molotov skill will allow you to throw that fire. 

Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus also includes a number of new cosmetic and collectibles. 

With the base game of Saints Row on Xbox, PlayStation or PC to hand, you can add the Saints Row: Doc Ketchum’s Murder Circus pack to your game right now. Pick it up from the Xbox Store.
