Red Faction: Battlegrounds Hits PSN Today With 3D

Hello again! Later today, our four-player, top-down vehicular combat game Red Faction: Battlegrounds will be available on PlayStation Network for just $9.99.! Utilizing Martian heavy assault walkers, armored tanks, and speedy rovers, your goal is to destroy the competition across multiple team-based or free-for-all battles. Best of all: Battlegrounds is 3D-enabled for play on your 3D TV! Buckle up.

If you’re not familiar with Red Faction: Battlegrounds from our exclusive PSN beta last year, the game is set within the Red Faction universe, specifically during the 50-year period between Red Faction: Guerrilla and Armageddon. You’ll battle opponents all over the surface of Mars in different environments, including military compounds, mining towns, and bases taken over by a new enemy. And just like with previous Red Faction titles, you’ll need to demolish many of the structures standing in your way.

Here are some key features for Red Faction: Battlegrounds:

Full online multiplayer with XP and ranking systems
Local multiplayer for up to four players with no need for split-screen!
Take any combination of local players online with you
Multiple game modes including Deathmatch, Survival, and Flag Frenzy
Exclusive 3D support for PS3
Extra weapons such as remote charges, proximity mines, and even singularity bombs
16 single-player training missions to get you on your way
9 multiplayer arenas
8 vehicles that include light ATV’s, heavy tanks, and even combat walkers!

One other feature that we’ve packed in, is that by completing certain milestones in Red Faction: Battlegrounds, you’ll gain exclusive unlockable bonus content for Red Faction: Armageddon, releasing May 31st.

Reach rank 10 and you will receive 2,000 Salvage, which can be used for upgrading weaponry and the Nano Forge.
Reach rank 20 and you will unlock one of Red Faction: Guerrilla’s signature weapons, the EDF Enforcer, which fires heat-seeking tracer bullets at your enemies.
