Here’s where to play the Red Faction games today. Now that Red Faction is back in Volition’s hands, could a sequel or reboot be in the cards for the blow-’em-up shooter? For now, series fans will have to settle for replaying the old classics.

Publisher THQ filed for bankruptcy a year later, and the rights for the series were passed around for years before Volition’s parent company, Koch Media, snatched them up in May 2020. Its most defining feature, though, was its innovative Geo-Mod technology, which allowed for destructible environments at a scale rarely seen at the time.Īfter four mainline games, a digital-only arcade title, and even a feature-length movie tie-in on Syfy, Red Faction was discontinued in 2011 when Red Faction: Armageddon failed to meet sales expectations. First released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, Red Faction captivated players with its fast-paced gunplay and conspicuously communist narrative and imagery.
