Volition has just confirmed that a brand new downloadable content pack for Saints Row 3: The Third will be released tomorrow, February 28, in the form of the Bloodsucker pack, across platforms like the PC, PS3, Xbox 360 or OnLive.

Saints Row: The Third has delighted millions of gamers with its over the top gameplay and story, allowing players to wreak all sorts of havoc in the city of Steelport.

Now, after releasing several impressive DLC packs, like the Genkibowl VII or the Gangstas in Space ones, Volition is getting ready to launch some more downloadable content, in the form of the Bloodsucker pack.

Quite a lot of things are included in this add-on, chief among which being a new Dracula Blood Sucking skill, which allows the player to latch onto his or her captive and regain health by sucking their blood.

Besides this vampire ability, the DLC also includes some VIP bonuses that are applied to things like your hourly cash income, your respect gauge, or to the amount of money you can find from fallen enemies.

The Bloodsucker DLC for Saints Row 3 also adds a random encounter to the world of Steelport, as the fictional Professor Genki will be driving around the city. Players should certainly be on the lookout for the outlandish character as he's carrying around a whopping 1,000,000 in in-game currency, so all you need to do is destroy his ride and the cash is yours.

Saints Row 3: The Third is scheduled to receive the Bloodsucker DLC pack tomorrow, February 28, on platforms like the PlayStation 3, via the PlayStation Store, Xbox 360, via Xbox Live Marketplace, or the PC, via Steam or OnLive. The DLC costs $1.99/€1.99 or 160 MS Points, depending on your platform or region.
