GDC 10: New Red Faction Game For March 2011

Speaking to Joystiq at the Game Developers Conference, THQ’s executive Vice President of Core Games, Danny Bilson, has revealed that the next Red Faction title is most likely going to be released in March 2011. It was previously scheduled for a vague “fiscal 2011″, but that seems to have changed with this announcement.

“The new game takes [Red Faction] to a whole new place, it kind of goes back to the old Red Faction because about 80% of it is underground,” Danny Bilson said.

He also commented on their reasoning for handing out free copies of Red Faction: Guerilla, the latest in the series, to those who bought Darksiders: “Giving away the stock now, on Red Faction, is getting more people exposed to the IP because we’re going bigger on Red Faction next time.” I think that’s a good reason!
