Red Faction: Armageddon Delayed a Week

Red Faction: Armageddon

Written Friday, April 29, 2011 By Richard Walker

Had you read our super awesome Red Faction: Armageddon preview yesterday, you'd already know that THQ and Volition have decided to delay the game by a week. But, just in case you missed it (shame on you), here's the news again.

Guess what? Red Faction: Armageddon has been delayed. It's only a mere week-long delay, so don't cry too hard. THQ hasn't given any reason for the delay, but don't forget you'll have the demo to tide you over on May 3rd, so don't fret.

For more Red Faction: Armageddon lovin' be sure to read our hands-on and interview with Volition's Eric Barker. Red Faction: Armageddon will now be releasing on June 7th, 2011 in North America and June 10th, 2011 in Europe.

	Hopefully there polishing of a few glitchy parts so they wont need to release a patch 2 weeks post release, more developers should do it, we'd all have waited an extra week for MW2 if we knew there would be no javelin glitch

	I hope they are adding Avatar awards or something to it... More than likely though they are polishing off some bits and pieces.......

	This still doesn't explain why pre orderers doesn't get the arcade game until this comes out. That makes zero sense.

	@#7 I think it's so that people don't just take the free arcade game and then cancel their pre-orders, like some did with dead space 2.

	Doesn't bother me that much, as I have Gears of War 3 beta, Brink and probably L.A. Noire to play through May. Not cool for people who doesn't have much to play, though :/

	I didn't like the previous game... was very boring... maybe they just delayed it forever!

	Weird, that they're all so scared of 2K games LOL. Still I wasn't planning on picking it up until Christmas sale so not a big deal for me. Sucks for all of you that want it though!

	It gives them time to polish it properly.

	Maybe they should just cancel the release for another 3-6 months and give us our Competitive Multiplayer that you know everyone was going to buy this game for.

	Nice. That give me 2 weeks of Dirt 3 before Red Faction comes out. It's just a week, no big deal.

	I'm looking forward to this. I've enjoyed the Red Faction games since the original. Bring on more Mars madness!

	The demo for this is really enjoyable, personally I didn´t think the sandbox-style gameplay worked in Guerilla but this I think I'm going to love, Red Faction gone corridor shooter sounds right:D
