THQ confirmed late last week that Red Faction: will be out a week early in Europe, arriving on the and come June 5th.

The game will reach North America on June 2nd, which represents no change from the original release plan, despite THQ's moves elsewhere.

Volition's opus is one of THQ's big hopes for 2009, the game sporting an advanced open-world Martian setting, complete with lashings of environmental interactivity.

We should be able to bring you a full review of the latest in the series come mid-May.
