			Red Faction: B.E.A.S.T. was to maintain the series' then-standard third-person shooter perspective. The title was specifically tailored for the Wii, intending to leverage the unique capabilities of the Wii Remote. The incorporation of Wii MotionPlus technology was to offer enhanced precision and control - a somewhat novel concept for shooter games on the platform.

	~~The game, as revealed by a~~ leaked ~~video,~~ was ~~to be a third person shooter. The~~ game ~~was to be designed around use of the Wii Remote and was slated to have incorporated Wii MotionPlus technology. It was to feature a~~ cover system ~~with similarities to [[Red Faction: Guerrilla]], and when the game was revealed~~, ~~earned positive~~ comparisons to Gears of War~~'s well-received cover system~~.		A notable feature in the leaked footage was the game's cover system, which drew favorable comparisons to the acclaimed cover mechanics featured in the Gears of War series.

	~~The game would have integrated series staple destruction capabilities~~, ~~however it is unknown whether the game~~ was to ~~have used~~ a modified ~~form~~ of the [[Geo-Mod]] engine, or a ~~different engine all together~~.		While details remain sparse, B.E.A.S.T. was expected to continue the series' legacy of environmental destruction. Whether this would involve a modified version of the [[Geo-Mod]] engine – the technology behind the destructible environments in previous titles – or an entirely new engine is not known. Nonetheless, the integration of destructible scenarios could reasonably be expected to have played a central role in the gameplay.

			The existence of Red Faction: B.E.A.S.T. was brought to light on January 15, 2011 through a series of leaks, including a trailer and screenshots showing various assets. These leaks provided the public and fans of the series a glimpse into what would have been a unique entry in the Red Faction series, and the first to have been released for a Nintendo platform.
