Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is the fourth game in the Destroy All Humans! series, due to be released at some point during late 2008. The game is being developed by THQ's Sandblast Games studio and has been confirmed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Veteran voice actors J. Grant Albrecht and Richard Horvitz will reprise their roles as Cryptosporidium and Orthopox respectively, and the musical score will be performed by veteran composer Garry Schyman.
Path of the Furon takes place in the 1970's, and players retain their role as an alien called Crypto in an effort to harvest as much DNA as possible while discovering a new adversary from Crypto's past. Path of the Furon picks up right after the last game in the series: Big Willy Unleashed. Crypto now runs a Las Vegas-like casino where he harvests patrons' brainstems, as he has grown weary of the constant struggle of harvesting DNA from humans. The story begins as the casino is attacked by a mysterious race of cyborgs known as Nexos. With a conspiracy quickly formed that threatens his way of life, Crypto embarks on a journey to gain enlightenment from an alien Kung Fu master, unlocking new powers that will let him save the Furons again.
Path of the Furon expands on the open world format of the previous Destroy All Humans! games, with five new open worlds on the ground and in the air (thanks to new augmentations to Crypto's new UFO) to obliterate with new weapons and new alien powers.
Gameplay
Missions, side quests, and achievements
FUCK YOU AMERICIA BRING IT ON THIS GAME IS SO CRAAPPPPP! has over 30 story missions, 20 side quests, and multiplayer modes to be revealed later. Creative director Jon Knoles also stated that the side quests would be related to the story and would also be creative. Knoles added that the achievements are tied to specific statistic tracking in game, and they are unique to the wild and crazy big weapons and abilities found in Path of the Furon. IGN stated that when the player takes the "Sunny" off of the Sunnywood sign they get a cutscene and one of the more creative achievements. There are also repeatable challenges and mini-games that the player can return to over and over to better their score and collect more rewards. It has also been stated most story missions can be played in non-linear order.
Multiplayer
The game will have offline and online co-op and competitive modes. All five locations are said to be open for free roam, and according to creative director Jon Knoles in an interview with IGTV, the worlds will change accordingly to fit multi-player purposes. There are said to be several different offline modes, including a mode that challenges Crypto to fight his own saucer. Path of the Furon's multi-player is also supposedly capable of having 4 offline co-op players.
Plot
Using the money earned from the Big Willy fast food franchise that Orthopox started, Pox and his destructive Furon warrior/minion, Crypto have opened a "family friendly" casino called "Space Dust" with which they use to invest a steady flow of cash and human DNA. Crypto has lost his motivation for destroying humans. He drinks too much, watches too much television, and has ultimately become lazy. However, problems begin to arise as the casino begins having attacks from the American Mafia, and later by mysterious cyborgs known only as Nexos. The "Nexos" come from the Furon homeworld. Soon Crypto discovers a conspiracy from his own homeworld capable of destroying the Furon race forever. Crypto also begins hearing a voice in his head commanding him to go to the city of Shen Long. While in Sunnywood, Crypto is shot in the neck with a dart and faints. He awakes in a Kung Fu monastery and he is greeted by a Furon martial arts expert known as The Master. The Master beseeches him to submit to his tutelage, and train his mind and firepower to help him defeat these new threats.
Locations
There will be five new open-world locations based on Las Vegas ("Las Paradiso"), Hollywood ("Sunnywood"), Hong Kong ("Shen Long"), Paris ("Belleville"), and The Furon Homeworld.
- Los Paradiso: This is where the game starts. Crypto begins confused and has forgotten what destroying humans is about. It is here that Crypto fights the American Mafia after they destroy his casino and Crypto begins to have a dream telling him to go to Shen Long.
- Sunnywood: In recently released trailers, it has been revealed that there are studios and a Hollywood-ish sign reading Sunnywood. Here Crypto meets the Alientology cult.
- Shen Long: This is where Crypto ends up after he had his dreams and meets The Master.
- Belleville: Trailers confirm this invasion site contains the Eiffel Tower and The Arc de Triomphe.
- Gorta: The Furon's homeworld.
Note - It has been stated that all five invasion sites are full of alien artifacts to collect, and Achievements to unlock.

He was once a Furon warrior who came to Earth while on the run from powerful politcal enemies back home. He has immersed himself in Eastern philosophies and developing new Psychokinetic abilities. According to Crypto in a trailer of the game, he enters his dreams and calls him. Apparently, the Master knows who is behind Crypto's recent troubles and trains Crypto to unlock powers and weapons.

Voices and dialog
According to the game's creative director, Jon Knoles, there are approximately 15,000 lines of spoken dialogue in the game. There will be much more back and forth banter between Crypto and Pox, interactive conversations, and many more human minds to read. Knoles also stated that "Crypto is as cranky, crass, irreverent, horny and homicidal as ever, maybe more than ever.", indicating that Crypto's personality is unchanged. Not much dialogue has been released for Pox yet, except a few quotes released with Knole's IGN blogs. Knoles also stated that Grant and Richard would still be voicing Crypto and Pox. It has been confirmed that the game will have more of the more interactive conversation games, such as the Mayor’s speech in the first Destroy All Humans! game, as Crypto addresses a group of humans, often while disguised as one, and manipulates them through carefully chosen words.
Release and development
The game's release date has been subject to recent change; however IGN, Gamespot, and Amazon.com state the release dates are: November 3 2008 for the United States, December 30 2008 for the United Kingdom, and December 30, 2008 for Australia. On April 1, 2008 there was a media surge surrounding THQ's Gamer's Day event that produced eight new screenshots, a short trailer, and a written interview with Jon Knoles (the game's creative director) on IGN. Other websites featured hands-on reports, previews, and one video interview with Jon Knoles on Gamespot. Until the game is released, more videos, screenshots, blogs, etc., will be released to the public on different sites at different times. A demo was supposed to be released in early August 2008 on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network, however, due to several layoffs at Sandblast, they haven't been able to prepare a demo for release, and the demo that was created months ago is very old and not representative of the final game anymore.
Changes from previous installments
Path of the Furon supports new features that were impossible on previous consoles.
Changes in gameplay, graphics, and physics
Due to streamlined controls, Crypto can shoot humans, use the jetpack, and activate Psychokinesis simultaneously. The player can stand on a moving vehicle without falling off or being knocked over. The player can now engage in aerial battles. There are now flying enemies, such as helicopters and enemy saucers that can fight Crypto in his saucer. The player can travel to different locations "without ever leaving the game world" Buildings will collapse and scar differently when attacked with different weapons. The game will feature a modified alert scheme with police, SWAT, and military awareness. Cars will dent, bend, and crumple when hit, and will create sparks when dragged across a stone or concrete surface. The game uses a different physics engine, and as a result objects in the game will not abruptly stop moving when they collide with other objects. Electricity will surge through power lines when damage is caused to them. Pox Mart will be returning. The player can now use Mental Lock as an accurate targeting lock-on system for strafing targets with a weapon. The player will be able to exit and enter certain buildings freely, such as his casino or the Master's monastery.
Changes to story and characters
The game features new locations, based upon major cities around the world. In an IGTV Interview, Jon Knoles states that since the Nexos from the Furon Homeworld are on Earth trying to disrupt his mission and kill him, Pox has upgraded Crypto's weapons and mental abilities. All of his weapons now produce DNA, and he automatically pulls the DNA towards him with Psychokinesis. Pox is still a hologram, but he has a brand new HoloPox Unit with extendable arms, with which he can gesture and interact with things.
Changes to Furon technology, weaponry, and saucer
Almost all of the previous weapons have been externally redesigned. Crypto can use the saucer's death ray and other weapons to scar buildings and terrain; these scars remain until a new mission is started, the player travels to a different location, or if the scar is on a building, until the building is destroyed. The saucer can abduct multiple humans, which are processed instantly. When abducted, humans slightly recharge the saucer's shields and also increase DNA. The Ion Detonator can be used as a sticky bomb. It can stick to both people and objects, and has a larger blast radius. The Anal Probe can lock onto more than one human. The Zap-O-Matic's multiple trails will go to vehicles, inanimate objects and people. Enemies and vehicles attacked with the Zap-O-Matic appear blue. The Quantum Deconstructor can be charged. The jet pack has a longer-lasting battery. The saucer has been redesigned, as Crypto crashed the original saucer into the Space Dust casino whilst drunk. Crypto's saucer can now fly horizontally and vertically and aim in all directions.
Changes to Psychokinesis
Psychokinesis is now mapped to its own trigger for easy access. Psychokinesis generates a large blue-purple glow around Crypto's hand. The Temporal Fist ability allows Crypto to stop time, manipulate objects, and then resume time. Objects can be given a directional impulse that causes the object to fly with greater force than a normal Psychokinetic push, once time has been resumed.
Changes to humans and enemies
Some enemies carry riot shields. Humans now run out of buildings when damage is caused to them, making it easier to collect humans for processing.
