On 9th June, Red Faction®: ArmageddonTM is set to explode onto the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.

Additionally, THQ announced today the free playable demo of Red Faction: Armageddon is scheduled to be available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on 4th May.

In the demo, consumers will be introduced to Darius Mason and fight their way through the Martian sewers and an incoming alien infestation. Meanwhile, Darius must clear his name as the colonists have blamed him for unleashing the alien threat that has ravaged the underground cities of Mars.

Players will have at their disposal the Nano Forge as they combat alien invaders with concussive blasts and core-shattering tremblers. Rebuild all that you destroy with the Nano Forge’s incredible Reconstruction ability. Finally, throw entire buildings at your enemies with Red Faction’s signature weapon, the Magnet Gun.

The Red Faction: Armageddon demo is also scheduled to be available on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on the evening of 4th May (or once the PlayStation®Network has been restored).
