Red Faction Guerilla Re-Mars-tered Edition Gets New Trailer, Release Date

Red Faction Guerilla, developed by Volition and published by the THQ of old, was released in 2009 to both general critical positivity and consumer approval, resulting in over one million sales. It was released in a far different games landscape than that of today—destructibility was a relatively novel concept at that point, outside of games like Battlefield Bad Company and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Now, in 2018, unilateral destructibility in videogames is still a somewhat novel concept—the Battlefield franchise has replaced cartoonish destruction with realistic destructibility on a broader canvas, while Rainbow Six Siege features omnipresent destructibility on a far smaller scale. So Red Faction Guerilla could still prove to be as much of a cathartic breath (explosion) of fresh air now as it was back in 2009. THQ Nordic’s newest trailer for the recently announced HD remaster of Red Faction: Guerilla further caters to this notion. Everything explodes. Everything breaks. The world is a LEGO-like sandbox for the player to reign hell upon like an angry older brother lashing out at his younger sibling’s fully built LEGO Star Destroyer.
