It has been nearly eight years since the last newRed Factiongame,Red Faction: Armageddon, was released, and poor sales of the title led its publisher, THQ, to put an indefinite hold on the franchise. While last year’s release of aremastered version ofRed Faction: Guerrillaproved that there was still some life left in the series, an apparent leak suggests thatRed Factionremasters are not the only thing in THQ Nordic’s plans.
Specifically, the official Nvidia website has listedRed FactionEvolution, a title that has not been announced previously, as one of the games supported by Nvidia Ansel, a photo mode that allows players to take 360 degree captures. While no further details about this apparent newRed Factiongame can be gleaned from the listing, fans that have been hoping to see the series continued may find this discovery to be an exciting prospect indeed.
This listing should not be taken as definitive confirmation of the nextRed Factiontitle, but it is compelling evidence. Fortunately, it may not be much longer before the publisher offers an official announcement on the matter, as it has been said thatTHQ Nordic will share two unannounced gamesfrom “beloved franchises” during E3 2019.
Perhaps thenRed Factionis one of the “beloved franchises” being referenced by THQ Nordic, and maybe fans will get their first look at whateverRed Faction Evolutionis at E3 2019. Indeed, this is purely speculative, but it definitely does not seem outside of the realm of possibility.
To note, the appearance ofRed Faction Evolutionis not aligned with a rumor that has been circulating aboutTHQ Nordic’s E3 2019 plans. This rumor suggests that games likeDarksiders: GenesisandDestroy All Humanswill be part of the publisher’s E3 2019 offering, but there is no mention ofRed Faction Evolutionto be found.
However, this rumor is far from officially confirmed, and the absence ofRed Faction Evolutioncertainly does not guarantee that it will be excluded from E3 2019. Whatever the case may be, there are only two weeks left until the expo arrives, which means that fans will not have to wait long to see if a newRed Factiongame is shown there.
