Red Faction: Guerilla "Re-Mars-tered" Coming This Year

THQ Nordic have this week announced that Red Faction: Guerilla is being "re-Mars-tered" for release later this year.

Yes, the official name will be Red Faction Guerilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition, joining other sub-title puns from the company such as Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition, and Darksiders: Warmastered Edition. That sounded like something Troy McClure would say.

This remaster will feature fully reworked graphics with native 4K support (likely limited to PC and Xbox One X); they've also improved shadows and the lighting tech. 

If you don't know anything about Guerilla,  then you should know that it takes place 50 years after the original game, seeing you play as an insurgent fighter for the Red Faction movement as they face off against the Earth Defence Force. There's a huge open world for you to take these fights into, with full destruction that will be fantastic in 4K.

Here's some of the features you can look forward to (re)visiting:

• Open World Guerrilla Warfare – You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilise guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
• Strategic Destruction – Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
• Evolving & Emergent Gameplay – Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics – mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
• Epic Sci-Fi Setting – Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.
• Multiplayer Combat – There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.

You can expect Red Faction Guerilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition at a store near you in Q2 2018.
