Red Faction: Guerrilla is the third game in the Red Faction series developed by Volition Inc. and published by THQ Inc. Red Faction: Guerrilla has been in development for over 4 years as of September 2008.

Plot

Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction (around the year 2128). Players take the role of an insurgent fighter named Alec Mason with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force (EDF - allies in the first Red Faction). Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos to the Earth-like region known as Oasis.

When Alec and Dan arrive at their destination, an abandoned lab, they spot a gunship flying in the air. The player is then tasked with destroying the abandoned buildings while their brother keeps a lookout. As the player returns to the vehicle, the gunship returns and orders Dan to surrender, revealing that he was part of Red Faction. When Dan tries to run, the gunship shoots him and Alec.
