Embracer Group Cancels Red Faction: Guerrilla Sequel Amid Massive Layoffs

Fishlabs' ambitious pitch for a new Red Faction game set on a terraformed Mars was shelved following internal votes and financial setbacks.

Fishlabs proposed a sequel featuring a female protagonist leading a workers' revolution on Mars.
The project aimed to blend successful elements of Red Faction: Guerrilla with new immersive sim features.
Despite positive initial reactions, an internal vote led to the game's cancellation in late 2023.
Around 50 Fishlabs employees were laid off as a result of the project's termination.
Embracer's broader financial troubles, including a failed $2 billion deal, contributed to the decision.
