It’s not usually too rare for game publishers to announce new titles or discuss them through press releases or gaming events. That didn’t happen for Red Faction III. THQ has been moving and shaking their soon to be resurrected Red Faction series through conference calls alone.

Red Faction hasn’t seen the light of day since April of 2003 when Red Faction II was released for the PC. The first notion of the franchise came via a conference call with investors of the company, this was then followed up by a conference call through management, which was ultimately and finally discussed through another conference call involving the publisher.

THQ CEO Brian Farrell has once again brought the title up in yet another conference call today and finally referred to it as, “Red Faction III,” for the first time through this adventure. The title is expected to bring back the interactive environments with the new powers of the PS3, 360, and PC.


There was no release date given specifically, however, they did let it be known that they are shooting for a release over the new fiscal year which ranges from April 2008 to March 2009. Stay tuned with PSU as we’ll keep you posted on the next conference call.

    It's got to be better than the rest of their console output in recent years.

    I'd like to see just how much it would differ from that new LucasArts(I think) game where they control the land. (Is it Fracture?)

    but can we really trust THQ? they could cancel the ps3 version of this game as well. or... well, maybe not.

    I was a huge fan of the first RF. In fact my friends and I still play it often. RF II however was a slap in the face to all true RF fans. THQ better get it right this time around, and for the love of God don't you dare cancel this on us because your developers are to lazy to figure out the code.

    honestly, they just didnt see the point of releasing Fronlines 2 or 3 months later. it wouldnt sell much cuz of all the other amazing games coming out and COD4 is alot better anyways, so dont hate THQ because of that.

    Just a repeat of previous comments, the first Red Faction was phenominal, but the second one pretty much sucked.  Hopefully they learned we don't want a super cartoony (although the body chunks were nice) game with a story which doesn't connect to the previous one, and with extra characters that both look and sound like retards.
    I wanna tunnel around the map again!

    Never played the second game but the first red faction was awsome, though I think the pc version sucked.

    I liked Red Faction and Red Faction 2 but why does this have to be for xbox also? I'm not complaining but didn't they say it was a ps3 exclusive in another article months back?
