Red Faction: Guerrilla will be redefining open-world physics-based destruction when it is released in THQ's fiscal year 2009!

Set 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction, the third-person action-shooter will see players take on the role of an insurgent fighter in the newly re-established Red Faction movement, battling for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defence Force.

The game is set on a massive, terra-formed Mars where you can literally tear down the enemy EDF presence brick by brick, 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.

The game will also feature a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.

Features:

• Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
• Strategic Destruction – Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
• Evolving undefined then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.
• Multiplayer Combat – There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.
