sent out a press release announcing that Volition's Red Faction franchise
will make its open-world, next-generation debut with Red Faction: Guerrilla. Set
50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, this
third-person open-world action-shooter will return to Mars and once again
re-define the limits of destruction-based game-play. The game is currently in
development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 and is scheduled to ship in THQ's fiscal
year 2009.
Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players will take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players will carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla will also feature a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.
