Volition, Inc. is a developer of computer and video games for consoles and Windows-based PCs. Volition is located in Champaign, Illinois. The company was created when Parallax Software (developers of the critically-lauded Descent series) were split in two. The other half was the now-defunct Outrage Entertainment who developed Descent 3 and Alter Echo.
With Interplay as a publisher, Volition, Inc. developed the FreeSpace series of space simulation computer games. As Interplay tumbled towards bankruptcy, Volition, Inc. was acquired by THQ. Since then, Volition, Inc. has developed several acclaimed titles including Red Faction, Red Faction II, Summoner, and The Punisher. They are currently developing the next-gen title Saint's Row.
