The first Homefront game was not considered as a big success by THQ, having it be more of a mainstream shooter. Since then, THQ went bankrupt and no further development could be considered given THQ’s situation. Crytek however saw potential in the title and bought the brand.
Since then, Crytek has been working hard to make this launch a success and also add its CryEngine touches to the title. The name of the upcoming sequel is Homefront: The Revolution, which will come out for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, as well as PC.
The game itself is said to be open-world, having the action set in Philadelphia and focusing mostly on guerrilla warfare style. The player is said to take the role of a freedom fighter, who alongside other civilians start to fight against the oppressors.
The story involves the Korean army, which has been ruling the country for about four years, until the uprising begins and the player fights to overthrow them in order to bring freedom to the region once more. It is also said that the player will have to craft his own weapons and use the surroundings during gameplay, since the opposing force already controls the area and implicitly all the weapons and resources.
Crytek is also looking to break the mainstream shooting feel and add focus more on the open-world environment, where players can team up with friends and play in co-op mode. The only thing linking the two Homefront titles is said to be the story. More details about the game are unknown at the moment, but Crytek is bound to present it at E3 next week.
