Red Faction Sequel, Much More In The Works From THQ
Without investor calls, how would any news break in the video game world? THQ had its annual one recently, and CEO Brian Farrell dropped the news that the company is working on another Red Faction game and more.
Joining Red Faction – which we know nothing about other than its existence, though the excellence of Red Faction: Guerilla is enough to get us on board – in fiscal 2011 is another title with potential. Homefront, the next game from Frontlines developer Kaos Studios, impressed at E3 with its intense near-future combat, and is likewise scheduled to appear next year. Though Farrell didn't say anything specific, he hinted at a return to De Blob in that timeframe as well.
According to Farrell's statements on the conference call, fiscal 2012 is set to receive a Darksiders sequel following news of the first games 1.2 million units sold. The Saint's Row franchise will also get another entry during this time period, as well as Relic's upcoming action/RPG Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.
As is the nature of such things, the conference call didn't enlighten us on any details about these projects; only their existence was mentioned. Still, it's good to see the publisher sticking with its franchises and giving gamers more of what they crave. With any luck, these follow-ups will maintain the level of quality we've come to expect from THQ over the last few years.
