🐠Anyone familiar with the Red Faction series will know it as a first-person shooter. But for the new game, Red Fa♉ction: Guerrilla, it's gone third-person.

Official details on the third game in th꧙e series have no🎀w emerged, and THQ is boldly promising the game will redefine destruction and open-world gameplay.

It's set 50 years on from the first Red Faction game, and returns us to Mars where we're playing an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement and battle for liberation from the oppressiv✱🔯e Earth Defense Force.

Elaborating on the open-world aspect, THQ sa𝓰ys we'll be carving our own path, "wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Pa🦂rker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos" during the fight.

It adds that environments willꩵ be fully destructible.

"Red Faction: Gue𒅌rrilla expands the signature destruction elements of the series and pushes the boundaries of next-gen gaming on a massive, terra-formed Mars where gamers can literally tear down the enemy EDF presence brick by brick," Mike Kulas, president of Volition - the game's developer - says.

"With a new third- person perspective, a full cover system that allows for guerrilla style tactics and a diverse planet to explore we're excꦜited to revitalize the gripping world of Red Faction for high-definitionꦫ platforms."

A number of multiplayer modes are base𝄹d around destruction gameplay, which we assume mean𒐪s blowing up the opposition's HQ and the like.

Red Faction: Guerrilla's ꦆin development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and is due out in THQ's fiscal 2009 - April '08 to March '09
