Today THQ announced that Volition’s shooterRed Faction: Guerrillaand Vigil’s brawlerDarksiders: Wrath of Warhave been delayed until the next financial year. This means neither of these titles may see the light of day until 2010.
Darksiderscertainly has an interesting premise. The game will put players in the role of War, one of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse. Instead of delivering the human soul to the underworld, the game will allow players to fight wicked huge monsters with overgrown swords and high-powered ballistics. The videothat we snagged at E3should give you a better indication of what Vigil is shooting for.
As forRed Faction, we’ve always seen it as a nearly complete and promising title. My guess is that the holdup has something to do with money. I know — that’s a radical statement. But I’m a maverick and I saymaverickythings.
Update:GameCyteis reporting thatRed Factionwill only be delayed by 8-10 weeks, which means it will land somewhere around March and June 2009.
