Red Faction: Guerrilla sequel was another Embracer casualty, say former Fishlab devs


Embracer reportedly killed a Red Faction: Guerrilla sequel. That's according to Rock Paper Shotgun, which reported this…

"In addition to screening the 'fake trailer', team members posed as characters from the game, with the Red Faction resistance group 'hacking' a presentation given by a sinister corporate agent. "You could see that both the company chiefs had been crying a lot, and there was a representative from Plaion there as well," an anonymous source from Fishlabs told RPS, recounting the all-hands meeting in which staff were informed of the cancellation. Yesterday, we reported that Embracer Group – which has reduced its headcount by 4532 employees in the past financial year – wants to harness AI to "empower" its staff, saying artificial intelligence "has the capability to massively enhance game development by increasing resource efficiency".
