Do you still remember the first person shooter “Homefront” that was released in 2011? If you almost forgot about it, I don’t blame you, I as almost barely recall the game. But then, checking my DVD cases, I found the old “Homefront” and indeed, memories came back and I found it to be a good first person shooter game, albeit it only had a short single player campaign.

The new publisher of Homefront, Deep Silver, a subsidiary of Kock Media that bought Homefront from THQ when it filed bankruptcy, has been developing a sequel of “Homefront” with game developer Dambuster Studios. "Homefront: The Revolution" takes place four years after the Korean People’s Army (KPA) were defeated in the Battle of San Francisco in “Homefront”. The KPA invaded and occupied the USA in 2027, but were pushed back in the West Coast by the resistant movement in coordination with whatever remained of the U.S. military.

In "Homefront: The Revolution", the KPA focused their attention in conquering the Eastern States, which were free during the “Homefront”, eventually putting up their main base of operations in Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, with the story revolving around an underground movement formed led by Resistance leader named Dana, and its youngest member, Ethan “Birdy” Brady. How they will take back Philadelphia and pave the way for the liberation of the Eastern States, only when the game gets released will we find out.

The Resistance, as shown in the gameplay trailer, will involve missions devoted to disrupting the operations of the occupying forces.  Some will involve high-tech and some will involve low-tech solutions such as destroying security cameras with bricks, rather than use a high-tech device.

After some issues affecting the Cytek, the original game developer for “Homefront: The Revolution”, Dambuster studios finally announced that the release will be on the 17th of May 2016 in the USA and the 20th of May 2016 for European Union.  A closed beta, only for the Xbox One platform, will be done in February 2016.

"Homefront: The Revolution", when it gets officially released, will be available for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
