You’ll be able to get your first taste of Red Faction: Armageddon this coming May 4. Volition and THQ have confirmed that the game’s demo will be appearing on Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN on this day.

Despite the fact that Armageddon’s PC port is being developed in-house, this demo will not be making an appearance on the PC.  When asked if there were plans to release a PC demo,  Volition’s community dude J Goldber replied with a somber  “unfortunately, no,” over Twitter.

 Aliens are never a good sign. Unless you're the aliens.
The demo will take place in an alien-infested sewer where you’ll be given access to the Magnet Gun and the Nano Forge, a gun that can repair what you’ve crippled with your magnet might.  

"For the first time players will assume the role of Darius Mason and fight their way through Martian sewers and an oncoming alien infestation," the official game's blog post reads. "Meanwhile, Darius must clear his name as the colonists have blamed him for unleashing the alien threat that has ravaged the underground cities of Mars."

Red Faction: Armageddon hits Xbox 360, PS3, and PC this June 2.
