Red Faction: Armageddon Unleashes On May 31

The next Red Faction gets a date and building foundations are warned in advance.

Red Faction: Armageddon now has a release date. THQ has slotted in the fourth Red Faction for a May 31, 2011 release in the US, confirming that the title will indeed hit before June and before E3 madness gets fully underway. Europeans, however, will have to wait until said month: Armageddon will start appearing on European shelves later on June 3, 2011. 

These dates are for the two console versions, as well as the PC version, which I assume will see a release in most digital distribution outlets, including the ever-popular Steam.  
 
  
  
 
== TEASER ==This is the time to share pre-order bonuses with you, but the information on what Volition and THQ will offer those who take the reserve plunge is limited. GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon currently aren’t offering anything special... but the THQ store is. If you pre-order one of the console versions through the publisher’s own store, you’ll receive a “free glow in the dark t-shirt” alongside your purchase. 

Armageddon tells the story of Darius Mason and his fight against a “long-dormant evil” that is unleashed above and below the surface of Mars. Unlike Guerrilla, Armageddon is a linear affair, but the series’ staple destruction mechanics are purportedly still very much a part of the game.
