Red Faction: Battlegrounds announced
Signature destruction of Sci-fi/Action franchise comes to Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network as a downloadable title
Mechs or tanks? The age-old debate will be settled on Mars as THQ today announced the development of Red Faction: Battlegrounds, the first downloadable title in the history of the Red Faction sci-fi/action franchise.
Scheduled to explode onto to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 in 2011, Red Faction: Battlegrounds is a fast-paced multiplayer-focused vehicular combat game in which fast-attack vehicles, heavy tanks and combat walkers wreak havoc above ground and beneath the surface of Mars. Staying true to the Red Faction universe, players can demolish anything that stands in their way, from military compounds to enemy vehicles, using advanced Martian artillery and explosives.
Developed by THQ Digital Studios UK and executive produced by Volition, Red Faction: Battlegrounds pits four players either locally or online in a variety of game modes, including Survival, Annihilate and Flag Frenzy. Players rank up and are rewarded with unique bonus content that will be playable in the upcoming Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC game, Red Faction: Armageddon.
"The pick-up-and-play multiplayer action of Red Faction: Battlegrounds adds a completely new perspective to the acclaimed Red Faction franchise," said Kevin Kraff, Vice President of Global Brand Management, THQ. "Just as in other Red Faction games, you can pretty much blow up everything. Only this time, you do it with your friends using hulking mechs, armored tanks and combat walkers."
Those attending Gamescom 2010 in Cologne, Germany, can already get their hands on the playable version of the game at THQ's booth.
