Esta mañana Deep Silver y Crytek dieron a conocer Homefront: The Revolution, título que continua los hechos de Homefront, pero que promete ser una bestia totalmente distinta.
Originalmente Crytek fue contratado por THQ para realizar la continuación de Homefront, pero tras la quiebra de esta, la desarrolladora de Crysis terminó poseyendo los derechos del título, lo que les brindó la libertad de ir por su propio camino para esta nueva entrega.
Homeront: The Revolution será un shooter de mundo abierto situado en Filadelfia, a cuatro años de la invasión de Estados Unidos por Korea del Norte, quien previo a los hechos del primer título se volvió una superpotencia. Como sucediera con la entrega original, el protagonista será parte de una resistencia y no tendrá entrenamiento militar formal, y usará la mayor parte del tiempo armamento casero, muy inferior a las armas y drones de los invasores.
En lugar de un juego lineal dividido por niveles, Homefront: The Revolution tendrá la estructura característica de otros juegos de mundo abierto, en donde deberemos completar una misión y escapar lo antes posible, para evitar ser atrapados. En este mundo abierto dentro de la ciudad de Filadelfia, nuestro personaje podrá ir reclutando habitantes a la causa revolucionaria. Adicional a la campaña en solitario, habrá un multijugador cooperativo de hasta cuatro jugadores, donde podremos crear nuestra propia célula de la revolución.
El título será lanzado en 2015 conjuntamente por Crytek y Deep Silver en PC, Playstation 4 y Xbox One, con el desarrollo a cargo del estudio Nottingham de Crytek. El video CGI que acompaña al anuncio da una idea de la superior tecnología a la que la resistencia se estará enfrentado, el primer tráiler con gameplay será mostrado la semana entrante durante la E3.

RISE UP AND STRIKE BACK AS CRYTEK AND DEEP SILVER ANNOUNCE HOMEFRONT®: THE REVOLUTION
Larkspur, Calif., June 2, 2014 – Wage guerrilla warfare and reclaim the streets of Philadelphia in Homefront: The Revolution, a captivating new free-roaming FPS to be co-published in 2015 by Crytek and Deep Silver.
Coming to Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®4, PC, Mac and Linux in 2015, Homefront: The Revolution throws players into a near future dystopia. Catastrophic events have brought the United States to its knees and enabled the Korean People’s Army forces to impose a brutal military occupation. Trapped in this American nightmare, Philadelphia has become 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. At every turn they’ll find 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.
The Resistance flourishes far beyond the single player. 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.”
Homefront: The Revolution represents the first time Crytek and Deep Silver have worked together, with the two partners collaborating to release the game as part of a co-publishing agreement.
“Crytek has an outstanding track record of creating AAA action games. Homefront is a fascinating IP with huge global potential. With Crytek`s technical pedigree and Deep Silver´s publishing expertise, we will take the IP to new heights,” said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver / Koch Media.
Developed by Crytek’s Nottingham studio, Homefront: The Revolution harnesses the latest features of Crytek’s CRYENGINE technology. On the ground, players will encounter a dynamic environment that looks and feels truly alive as day turns to night and storm clouds come and go – an authenticity that extends to the strikingly lifelike expressions, skin and clothing of everyone they encounter.
