Next Red Faction Announced

The next game in the Red Faction franchise will be announced next week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The new game, titled Red Faction Armageddon will take place half a century after the Martian revolution of Red Faction: Guerilla, putting players in the shoes of the grandson of Alec Mason and Samanya.

When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.

Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work—if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements.

When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted planet... and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat.

Also, one of the big new weapons of the game will be an evolved Nano Forge, which can unleash blasts, "tremblers" and "rhino charges". Of course that also means the game will have full-on destruction again, the best part of Guerrilla.
