At GDC Europe, THQ have announced a new downloadable entry in the resurgent Red Faction franchise entitled ‘Battlegrounds’, which will be released at the end of the year.
The top-down vehicle combat game is being viewed by the company as a “companion product” to the series, like Bionic Commando: Rearmed, or Dead Space Ignition.
Battlegrounds will feature four-player co-op, and certain achievements will be tied to unlocks for the upcoming Red Faction:Â Armageddon, due early next year.
No other details or screenshots are available, but a trailer was shown at the panel, so expect to see it released later this week during Gamescom.

No mention whether it’s online or offline yet, I’m afraid.

i thought they were going for a survival horror thing with the next red faction game, how is a vehicle combat game going to tie into that?
