Instead it was sold off to Nordic Games, along with a few other THQ assets such as Darksiders. Although Koch Media has bought Volition, they did not buy the Red Faction IP. In late 2012 THQ declared bankruptcy and had its assets sold off. In July 2011 THQ cancelled the series, due to dramatically poor sales of Red Faction: Armageddon. It consists of various challenges narrated by Armageddon's Sergeant Winters, and multiplayer where up to four players can control a variety of vehicles from Guerrilla and proceed to blow up everything. There's also Red Faction: Battlegrounds (2011), a top-down, twin-stick Shoot 'em Up for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 designed as a tie-in to Armageddon.
The game stars Darius Mason, the grandson of Alec Mason, who is tricked into opening an ancient sealed Martian temple by Hale, releasing a long-buried malevolent alien species and unleashing armageddon upon Mars. After the planet's atmospheric terraformer is destroyed by cult leader Adam Hale, a descendant of the defeated EDF and long-time nemesis of the Mason family, the people of Mars are forced to take shelter underground from the now hostile surface. It's a Third-Person Shooter, but features tighter Gears of War style corridor-shooter gameplay in contrast to the Grand Theft Auto style Wide-Open Sandbox gameplay of Guerrilla. Red Faction: Armageddon (2011) is the fourth game in the series and takes place fifty years afterwards Guerrilla.Red Faction: Origins (2011) is a film interquel between Guerrilla and Armageddon.A newcomer to Mars, Alec Mason, joins the reborn Red Faction to fight against the EDF after his brother is gunned down by an EDF gunship and troops investigating his house label him as a member of the Faction. Fifty years after the original Red Faction, the Earth Defense Force have turned from liberators to oppressors, more concerned with exploiting Mars than helping it rebuild. Red Faction: Guerrilla (2009) is a departure from previous entries in terms of gameplay - a Wide-Open Sandbox Third-Person Shooter similar to Volition's Saints Row, as opposed to a First-Person Shooter - but a return to the continuing narrative.
