RF: Armageddon getting a prequel on download
TV movie also in the works
THQ's Danny Bilson has announced that they will be releasing a game that will bridge the gap between the Red Faction: Guerilla and Armageddon.
The title is being developed for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network and will appear three to four months before Red Faction: Armageddon arrives.
Bilson explained: "One of the other strategies we have is Xbox Live and PSN games on our big brands. They're revenue generators and marketing tools. There's going to be a Red Faction Arcade game that ships about three or four months before Armageddon. What's interesting is that we will sell it to the fans, it will have content you can download that is TV show-related, it will build up to the new game and also we can use it to drive pre-orders, too; we can give codes and aspects of it, we can give the whole thing away."
The TV show that Bilson is referring to is a Red Faction TV movie that THQ is working on in conjunction with the SyFy Channel that could lead to a TV series if it proves popular enough.
Thanks 1UP.
