Like Giant Robots, Mars, Martians, Superhuman Abilities, Big Guns, Space Hammers and Geo.Mod 2.0? Hells Yeah I do

MELBOURNE, AUS – July 21, 2010 – THQ today revealed that there is life on Mars in Volition Inc.’s upcoming 3rd person science fiction shooter, Red Faction: Armageddon™.

At San Diego Comicon International 2010 the greatest enemy the Red Faction has ever faced will surface, and it’s been on Mars a lot longer than humans.

This relatively unknown threat appears to be an Indigenous Martian race that has been lurking beneath the surface of the planet for generations.

It has become clear that they have one objective: exterminate the ‘occupying force’ – all humans must be eliminated from Mars.

To accompany this reveal we have a brand new trailer, four news screens featuring Darius Mason smiting Indigenous Aliens, as well as some character artwork of a new alien (the infantry scout ‘Creeper’), an amazing weapon (the infamous ‘Magnet Gun’ from the E3 2010 demonstration and trailer) and Darius Mason’s first Nanoforge ability – the Shockwave. Fan’s of the jetpack abilities in Red Faction: Guerrilla™ will be happy to hear that near- superhuman abilities return to Red Faction: Armageddon™ by way of Darius’ Mason’s mysterious gauntlet – the NANOFORGE, or ‘Forge’ for short.

A family heirloom with a storied history, the NANO FORGE has been passed down from one Mason to the next with one purpose: To keep the planet Mars safe.

Now in the possession of Darius, the Forge’s nanotechnology has evolved to give its user a range of abilities that can only be described as “super-human”.
