It has been nearly eight years since the last new Red Faction game, Red Faction: Armageddon, was released, and poor sales of the title led its publisher, THQ, to put an indefinite hold on the franchise. While last year's release of a remastered version of Red Faction: Guerrilla proved that there was still some life left in the series, an apparent leak suggests that Red Faction remasters are not the only thing in THQ Nordic's plans.

Specifically, the official Nvidia website has listed Red Faction Evolution, a title that has not been announced previously, as one of the games supported by Nvidia Ansel, a photo mode that allows players to take 360 degree captures. While no further details about this apparent new Red Faction game can be gleaned from the listing, fans that have been hoping to see the series continued may find this discovery to be an exciting prospect indeed.

This listing should not be taken as definitive confirmation of the next Red Faction title, but it is compelling evidence. Fortunately, it may not be much longer before the publisher offers an official announcement on the matter, as it has been said that THQ Nordic will share two unannounced games from "beloved franchises" during E3 2019.

Perhaps then Red Faction is one of the "beloved franchises" being referenced by THQ Nordic, and maybe fans will get their first look at whatever Red Faction Evolution is at E3 2019. Indeed, this is purely speculative, but it definitely does not seem outside of the realm of possibility.

To note, the appearance of Red Faction Evolution is not aligned with a rumor that has been circulating about THQ Nordic's E3 2019 plans. This rumor suggests that games like Darksiders: Genesis and Destroy All Humans will be part of the publisher's E3 2019 offering, but there is no mention of Red Faction Evolution to be found.

However, this rumor is far from officially confirmed, and the absence of Red Faction Evolution certainly does not guarantee that it will be excluded from E3 2019. Whatever the case may be, there are only two weeks left until the expo arrives, which means that fans will not have to wait long to see if a new Red Faction game is shown there.
