Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original [i]Red Faction[/i], this third-person open-world action-shooter will return to Mars and once again re-define the limits of destruction-based game-play." [i]Red Faction: Guerrilla[/i] is being developed for Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC.

"[i]Red Faction[/i] is one [of] THQ’s most successful and critically acclaimed original franchises to date, with a huge global base of loyal fans waiting to join the new revolution," said Brad Carraway, director of global brand management, THQ. "With the game’s unique pairing of true physics-based destruction, fast-paced guerrilla warfare style combat, and a massive world to explore – [i]Red Faction: Guerrilla[/i] will redefine the limits of open-world gaming."

"[i]Red Faction: Guerrilla[/i] expands the signature destruction elements of the series and pushes the boundaries of next-gen gaming on a massive, terra-formed Mars where gamers can literally tear down the enemy EDF presence brick by brick," said Mike Kulas, president of Volition, Inc. "With a new 3rd person perspective, a full cover system that allows for guerrilla style tactics and a diverse planet to explore we’re excited to revitalize the gripping world of [i]Red Faction[/i] for high-definition platforms."
