Being developed by Crytek, who continue to take over for now-defunct THQ,Homefront: The Revolutionplays like an open-world FPS, where you or you and up to 4 co-op players via online play fight on American soil. Four years after the fictional 2025 invasion by the Korean People’s Army, players are cast into the life of “normal everyday dude” Ethan Brady, who bands together a collective of rebel fighters with the intent of kicking off the titular revolution.
Despite being outmanned and out-weaponized, players inHomefront: The Revolutionaim to even the odds with on-the-fly weapon customization. Technologically speaking, the game will utilize the CryEngine to the best of the developer’s abilities, featuring a procedural day-and-night cycle, dynamic rain and other weather effects.
My guess is that either Deep Silver or Crytek saw something that most others didn’t whenHomefrontwas released, as it had middling critical appraisal, at best. However, by controlling the reins from the ground up, perhaps Crytek can bring something exciting to the shooter genre. WithannualizedCall of Dutytitlesstill being a thing (and looks to be that way for some time), the genre needs it.
Homefront: The Revolutionwill be coming next year to PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Check out the announcement trailer above, which notes that first gameplay will be publicly shown during E3 2014.
