Red Faction Evolution is a rumoured title that would have been part of the Red Faction series. Despite widespread speculation, no substantive information has ever been produced to support the concept that such a game has ever existed.

Background

On May 28, 2019, user lashman on the MetaCouncil forums started a thread with a provocative title - Red Faction Evolution might've just leaked[2]. In the thread, lashman details how the compatibility list for Nvidia's then-recent GeForce Experience feature Ansel lists Red Faction Evolution among many other games, and suggests this is indicative of an impending product announcement.

Passionate fervor abounded in the days and weeks that followed, intensifying in some respects when Nvidia removed the name of the purported title from its Ansel compatibility list a short time later.[3] On May 29, a THQ Nordic source directly disputed the rumour that a game titled Red Faction Evolution was due to be announced at an upcoming E3 event.

Current Status

Absolutely no indication was provided contemporaneously by anyone associated with THQ Nordic or Deep Silver Volition that would have supported the title's existence, and none has been provided since. Despite this reality, based on nothing more than a fleeting mention on an Nvidia product page, the idea that Red Faction Evolution once existed have continued to proliferate among many online communities.
