Kaos Studios and their PC development partner Digital Extremes have revealed some PC specific info for Homefront – a near-future, post-peak oil, predictive history FPS in which the American empire is in decline, and North Korea has radicalised and built a strong alliance throughout east Asia.
Homefront will use Steamworks DRM. Not so coincidentally, the game is also now available on the Steam Store as a pre-order. Pre-orders on Steam will unlock the Air Assault Drone in multiplayer on day one.
Nvidia 3D Vision support has been confirmed, along with the recommended specs for a 3D Vision setup.
