<\/p>\nTHQ has announced that Homefront, a fresh FPS IP from Kaos Studios, has passed the gold master stage of development and entered manufacturing. Homefront is 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. The game is scheduled for launch on 18 March 2011 on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC platforms.<\/p>\n
“Homefront is set to become one of THQ’s most successful original IP launches,” said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ. “The team at Kaos have spent three years building an FPS that competes with the very best, offering a thrilling and original single player experience and hundreds of hours of multiplayer.”<\/p>\n

In advance of release, THQ is preparing hundreds of dedicated servers in multiple locations across the globe to support Homefront’s multiplayer mode.<\/p>\n
“We’re providing dedicated servers for both console and PC versions of the game,” said Drew Como, Director of Infrastructure, THQ. “Dedicated servers allow us to support 32-players on large maps with infantry, vehicles and drones, and level the playing field compared to titles that rely on user-hosted games. We know how important this is to the FPS community, and we’re looking forward to seeing their reaction.”<\/p>\n
