THQ have released details for the upcoming PC edition of Red Faction: Guerrilla, stating that the sequel will be released in Europe on September 11 and in North America on September 15.
You can read about the title in our console review. THQ have also released the following system specifications:
To celebrate the launch of Red Faction: Guerrilla, THQ parked a car filled with over 100 copies of the game in the middle of London, chained a sledgehammer to it and left passers-by to "smash and grab" to get their hands on one.
"Because Red Faction: Guerrilla features the world's most realistic destruction engine," said THQ PR guy Simon Watts, "we thought that it would make for an interesting experiment to find out how many people, going about their everyday business, would stop in a busy city street to work out some stress by smashing their way into a car to earn a copy of the brand new game."
Hundreds of people apparently did just that. Makes you think twice about parking in London, eh?

Exclusive to the PC version of Red Faction Guerrilla:
Set 50 years after the climactic events of the original Red Faction, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to take the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Red Faction: Guerrilla re-defines the limits of destruction-based game-play with a huge open-world, fast-paced guerrilla-style combat, and true physics-based destruction.
- Singleplayer prequel Demons of the Badlands (3 hours additional gameplay)
- Bagman and Team Bagman Modes from the Multiplayer Pack
- 6 Additional Wrecking Crew maps
- 2 New multiplayer maps (Doubletime and Outpost)
Features:
- Open World Guerrilla Warfare - You decide who, when, where and how to battle. Utilize guerrilla tactics, improvised weaponry, and modified vehicles to lead insurgent attacks on EDF targets. Launch attacks based on your own gameplay style, take on missions in any order you choose, or engage in destructive activities to weaken the EDF’s grip on Mars.
- Strategic Destruction - Use destruction to your tactical advantage, setting ambushes or chain reaction explosions to attack enemy strongholds and permanently modify the game environment. Leverage fully-dynamic physics-based destruction to improvise on the fly: blow holes in a wall or floor to set an ambush or escape, take out a staircase to stop your pursuers, or drive vehicles through blown out walls.
- Evolving & Emergent Gameplay - Carve your path through an ever changing landscape as you improvise your combat tactics - mixing gameplay styles, vehicles, weapons and explosives to defeat the EDF.
- Epic Sci-Fi Setting - Explore the huge, unforgiving Martian landscape, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos; then tear through the fully destructible open-world environments swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire.
- Multiplayer Combat - There is no place to hide when you put your guerrilla warfare skills to the test in a variety of highly destructive multiplayer combat modes.
