Crytek developing Homefront sequel with THQ

[Tank]

Having shuttered Kaos Studios, the developer of Homefront, THQ has secured a new partnership to develop the next title in the FPS franchise. A sequel to Homefront will be developed in collaboration with Crytek, the company behind Far Cry, Crysis and the visually opulent CryEngine platform.
"We see Homefront as a really strong universe that has a lot of potential and that has been expertly created and marketed by THQ," said Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. He's certainly right about the expert marketing. After plastering America with adverts, THQ overcame tepid critical response and shipped over 2.6 million copies of Homefront by the end of March 2011.
Yerli suggests that Crytek has been granted a reassuring amount of "creative freedom" over Homefront, and aims to bring its war-ravaged world to life "in a new and innovative way." It'll take some time, though -- the Homefront sequel is scheduled to launch on PC and consoles in THQ's fiscal 2014, meaning anywhere between April 2013 and March 2014.

Well i loved far cry, crysis 1, warhead and 2

plus the mp in crysis 2 is quite fun.

and i wanted homefront to succeed but sadly kaos never learned from their silly mistakes with Frontlines: Fuel of War and they paid for that.

will take a look at this when it launches

Great story and setting, just not such a great game. Hopefully Crytek will make it so.

I've still been trying to get my hands on Homefront in the bargain bin lately but haven't really managed to do so, hopefully one day I'll be able to play it I personally didn't want to believe all the bad reviews that it got because I think it's best to play a game for yourself to see what it's like and form your own opinion instead of believing everything reviewers say.

Yeah more potential for profit. A new low for Crytek

Incredible connection is selling the game for R200. That's where I got mine.
