The Saboteur's free launch DLC features nudity settings photo

The Saboteur released in the UK today, and those who purchase the game brand new are in for a sordid treat. Pandemic's last hurrah is getting launch DLC known as "The Midnight Show" that will allow players to toggle nudity on or off, as well as open up a brand new playable area. The rub, of course, is that this it needs a one-use code provided for those who purchase brand new.

If you buy The Saboteur new from launch, you will get a Belle de Nuit ticket inside that unlocks the secret basement of Sean Devlin's favorite strip club. Inside, you can play a minigame to earn some extra cash, and watch a saucy nude dance from one of three buxom French girls -- or all three at once, if you're feeling frisky.

In addition, extra hiding places will open up in the game's world, allowing Sean to evade Nazi pursuit by ducking into a selection of brothels. Note that this DLC is the only way to activate in-game nudity, which will fill the game with more boobs than you could possibly imagine. If that's not a purchase incentive, I don't know what is.

I've been playing The Saboteur for the past few days, but the game is so big it's been impossible to beat it before embargo. Our review will definitely hit before the US release next week though, so stay tuned. What I can tell you right now, however, is that this game is one of the biggest surprises of the year.

Wow. On a totally non-booby related note, I am so going to buy this game now.

Those who get it on PC are also in for a treat - the game is bugged to hell and at least half the people I've heard of are completely unable to play even when decimating minimal requirements! Yay!

I'm assuming preorders in the US will get this too, right?

So wait, is this just nudity in this one strip club place, or is it more like the Oblivion sense in which it's anyone you steal an outfit from?

Because one will bake me yell "hell yeah", the other "shtistorm incoming".

@Derek: Unfortunately guys will put up with a ton of shit if there are even virtual boobs involved.

Okay, so I have been stoked about this game from the announcement at E3, when I first heard about it. I have had it pre-ordered for a while and this is just the icing on the cake because come on, what guy doesn't like guns/women/nudity in his video game? Well a small few but eh, that's their opinion.

Why do I keep forgetting about this game? When is it coming out in the US exactly? I was planning on picking up a copy eventually, but that much boobage demands I place a pre-order.

Falinter: It's available at launch, but so long as you buy it brand new, it should have a code.

On a completely boob-related note, I want this game now. I mean, I was on the fence for this game for a while, but this definitely won me over.

I like boobs. Don't judge me.

Can you say "effective marketing?" And just like that teenagers now have a new game to continuously bother their parents to buy for them.

"It's ok mom! You kill Nazis in it! *under breath* and get to see boobies."
"What was that Jeremy?"
"Nothing!"

Weird... I got the reviewable game on tuesday, beat it and had my review up this morning. Then again, I probably have more spare time than you.

Yeah, it doesn't help I'm also playing Avatar for review AND working to fill the Dtoid news schedule every day. I need to just take a day off and play it for twenty four hours.

This is the kind of buying incentive i like in a game and i'm not talking about boobs or in an ironic matter, i mean that this is type of "one use only free DLC" is real solid good piracy prevention AND anti second hand purchase measure and IMHO far more effective than any crappy DRM or lock out that can potentially harm honest customers. Well played Pandemic, damn well played, keep on bringing the bewbs.

This is pretty ingenious, censoring the game for renters and people buying it used.

Crap, i just realized that this is Pandemics final game, that made this piece of news a sad one. Let's hope other developers at least take notice of this, who wants nude Jill DLC on his/hers RE5:AE? hands up everyone *raises hand*

Can't wait for the review... after skipping the last crop of open-world games after GTAIV, I'm actually looking forward to this one.

So it's like the Flashback code with Gears of War 2. Only you get tits instead of new multiplayer maps.

Sounds like a good deal.

This seems like an interesting way to get past the ESRB with certain types of content. Adjust your game to meet their sometimes hilariously inconsistent standards, and then, once your game is released, release a bunch of free DLC with tits and blood and blood-covered tits and what have you. And tits.

Just don't let those boobs get in the way of a fair review there Jim... We don't always agree but I do respect your opinion. Lets keep it that way :)

Day one buy.

Added tittery is just a nice bonus.

@AgentMOO: It's not censoring, it's added value for original purchase, the game doesn't lose anything if bought first hand but adds free extra content, those that buy second hand don't get shafted but don't get extra stuff either, pretty damn fair IMHO.

@ jawshoeuh - I had the same question as you about the US release. Looks like it does, based on what I've found by googling around -- also, this article says that it'll be up for purchase later.

Where's the media shitstorm?

I guess Pandemic chose the first option in TITS or GTFO.

Wait, The Saboteur comes out next week!? I had no idea! For some reason I though it was pushed back until 2010. Yet another game I won't have time to play.

From the early reviews I've seen, I smell a DLC diversion here...

"So, we closed down Pandemic before they really had a chance to finish the game. Controls are wonky, gameplay isn't all that great...what to do...what to do..."

"Hey, I found some code for a strip club and some extra hiding spots they were going to include but decided to take out. Also something about a locked-feature that would allow nudity."

"Brilliant! Boobies sell games! Make it DLC; give it out to those who by the game new and charge those who don't!"

Interesting... sort of a crass way to promote new sales, but then why the hell not if it works.

Looking forward to the PC version on Steam which they confirmed on their message boards. It better have this content as well, obviously.

Pretty sure the game was pretty much finished by the time Pandemic closed its doors, and a quote from The Perfect Lifeform: "I really, really fucking like it."

@Overcrowd: Tittery is my new favorite word. Thank you.

I was going to get L4D2, but I guess I'll be getting this next week. I also didn't know this was coming out so soon.

Also, boobs.

It's not really nudity if they still have panties on. Not in my world.
