Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (also known as Destroy All Humans! 3) is a third-person shooter video game published by THQ. The game is set in 1979 and is the fourth Destroy All Humans! game to be released, and is the third[5][6][7][8] game in the Destroy All Humans! trilogy, released December 1, 2008 in North America for the Xbox 360.[3][9] The game was developed by THQ's Sandblast Games studio for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.[10] 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 to obliterate with new weapons and new alien powers.
Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon has over 30 story missions, 20 side quests, and multiplayer modes. As with previous games, most story missions can be played in non-linear order. Creative director Jon Knoles stated that the side quests would be related to the story, would also be creative, and epic . Knoles added that the achievements are tied to statistic tracking in the game, and they are unique to the weapons and abilities found, allowing the player to experiment with different possibilities. For example, IGN noted that when the player takes the Sunny off of the Sunnywood sign they get a cutscene and one of the more creative achievements.[7][13] There are also challenges and mini-games that the player can return to repeatedly to better their score and collect more rewards. There are five new open-world locations based on Las Vegas ( Las Paradiso ), Hollywood ( Sunnywood ), Hong Kong ( Shen Long ), Paris ( Belleville ), and The 4th Ring of Furon.[14]
