Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is the fourth game in the Destroy All Humans! series, mentioned for release at some point during THQ's 2008 fiscal year. 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 preformed by veteran composer Garry Schyman.
Path of the Furon takes place in the 1970's, and players once again reprise their role as Crypto in an effort to harvest as much DNA as possible while combating 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 once 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

Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon 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 funny cut scene 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.

Multi-player

The game will have offline, as well as 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 pits Crypto against his own saucer. Path of the Furon's multi-player is also supposedly capable of having 4 offline co-op players.
