Homefront: The Revolution Announced, First Screenshots Revealed

Deep Silver and Crytek have officially announced Homefront: The Revolution. The game is slated for release on the PC, Mac, Linux, PS4 and Xbox One in 2015.

According to the press blurb, Homefront: The Revolution takes placae in a near future dystopia where the North Korean “Korean People’s Army” has invaded the United States of America and imposed a brutal military occupation. Taking place in Philadelphia, players must contend with living in a police state, where surveillance drones and armored patrols keep her once-proud citizens at heel, crushing any dissent with totalitarian force. 

To overcome their oppressors, players will have to engage in guerrilla warfare and use ambush, infiltration and hit and run tactics in “thrilling un-scripted firefights.” The game’s setting is described as a “sprawling open-world city,” in which recruiting fellow revolutionaries and building improvised homebrew weapons are just two of the keys to creating a powerful resistance force. 

More than just a single player game, Homefront: The Revolution supports up to four players in online co-op gameplay where you form your own resistance cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution.

"Homefront: The Revolution stands out from the crowd by immersing players in a world where they'll feel emotionally compelled to fight for their freedom," said Hasit Zala, Game Director at Crytek. "We're very excited to work with Deep Silver and deliver an experience that underlines Crytek's commitment to quality whilst tapping into the huge potential we saw when we first acquired the Homefront IP."

More details are set for announcement soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer  below.
