We know well that Embracer Group has gone through a difficult time. But it seems that reports are now coming to light that uncover more than has been known. For example The sequel to Red Faction: Guerrilla was cancelled, being one of many projects that went unnoticed because it was not even announced. But it is one of those sagas that were consecrated many years ago and that we have largely forgotten.
According to reports from Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the project that was being carried out by Fishlabs, it had a small team of 50 people that was fired. And what this study provides right now is help for other projects, without being able to execute one of its own. An unpleasant situation for any studio.
Although we were unaware of the development, we now know that the sequel to Red Faction: Guerrilla was canceled
We cannot fully know the licenses owned by Embracer Group, which for a time was in charge of swallowing up studios as if there were no tomorrow. The bad thing is that as a consequence of this heavy investment, the fact that there is no tomorrow is becoming very common for many projects, workers and studies. And this case is curious, since the Red Faction license is a license that was owned by Volition, which was closed this year.
But in the end, Red Faction stayed at Embracer Group and the project that Fishlabs was managing seems to have been aimed at developing a sequel to the 2009 shooter, Red Faction Guerrilla. It is a pity that, without having seen anything, we have learned that The sequel to Red Faction: Guerrilla was canceled, because it is one of those licenses that usually has very entertaining products. The saga, which began as an FPS and evolved into a third-party shooter, offered an always fun action experience in an extraterrestrial and industrial environment.
Precisely, Red Faction Guerrilla is one of the best rated, if not the best rated, since it was a game that took advantage of the sandbox pull with third-person action and mass destruction. An adventure linked to a corporate-social war, exposing a future in which humanity worked extracting minerals on Mars, in a complicated socio-political moment. A revolution and many fights led these games to be a recognizable alternative, which has been hidden for too many years.
And it does not seem that it will return soon, since Embracer Group is moving in swampy terrain and its future remains uncertain knowing this information. In fact, recently, the poor results of Alone in the Dark led Dark Pieces to lower the blinds, being another notch in a revolver of Embracer Group closures that seemed to not require more closures. But as we have said, the situation is complex and the lack of sales will greatly affect the future of any studio.

Video games should be more expensive, or shorter. This is the deduction they take from Embracer Group.

And we have to regret another cancellation and more layoffs, having learned that the sequel to Red Faction: Guerrilla was canceled, which could have been a very interesting game if we had been able to specify what the proposal should be. Would you have liked to see Red Faction back?
