Embracer reportedly killed a Red Faction: Guerrilla sequel.

It’s thought the game would have been set a century after the events of Guerrilla, featuring new and reimagined locations. As the female protagonist, players would have led an underground revolution, forging alliances and factions along the way.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single good thing about these guys lol.
