Crytek has announced the sequel to Homefront – titled Homefront: The Revolution. The game is expected to be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2015.
The game is being billed by the developers as a “captivating free-roam FPS” and is set to be published by Crytek and Deep Silver.
“Homefront: The Revolution throws players into a near future dystopia where catastrophic events have brought the USA to its knees and enabled North Korean forces to impose a brutal military occupation. Trapped in this American nightmare, Philadelphia – the birthplace of independence – has become a police state, where surveillance drones and armoured patrols keep her once-proud citizens at heel, crushing any dissent with savage force.”
Based on Crytek’s press release and the game’s teaser trailer below, players will take up the role of a citizen guerilla soldier and attempt to overthrow the powers that be by engaging in scrappy urban combat.
Hasit Zala, Game Director at Crytek, said: “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.” He added that the game will utilise the latest features of the CryEngine.

The 1st game was good, but not a game changer, but suffered from overhype. It was way to short, and seemed to just stop. I was really shocked when the end titles came up when they did.
