In particular, the latest Red Faction and Saints Row have swapped released windows--destruction-centric shooter Red Faction 4 is now due before April 2011, while the open-world gangbuster Saints Row 3 is due to arrive before April 2012.
Also due before April 2011: Homefront, which already has a sequel planned, and a sequel to town-painting action game de Blob that's coming to unspecified platforms.
A breakdown of the company's major releases across the next two years, based on comments CEO Brian Farrell made during a recent conference call, follows:
- FY 2011- April 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011
- de Blob 2
- Homefront
- Red Faction 4 with "robust online gameplay"
- UFC Undisputed 2010
- New WWE
FY 2012 - April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012
As for the impending Warhammer 40,000 MMO--previously planned to launch no later than April 2012--THQ noted that the game will "fully unveil" at E3 2010 in June, but did not disclose if the game's release window has changed across the past year.
