The Red Faction Franchise Has Met Its End
With the release of Red Faction: Armageddon, the game’s universe has spun to a stopping point. THQ CEO Brian Farrell explained that the franchise is simply no longer worth pursuing.
Farrell stated that, “Given the title, now in two successive versions, has just found a niche, we do not intend to carry forward with that franchise in any meaningful way.” He noted that the game’s development team is talented, but their skills will be put to use on a new project called “Insane.”
That’s about all the information that has been released on the decision, and THQ has been contacted for more details. With the release of Armageddon, the game saw an unexpected incline of players, which suggests that many came back to the series, and enjoyed it. Are you a fan? If so, what are your thoughts on this decision from THQ?
