Crytek has announced the sequel to Homefront<\/a>\u00a0– titled Homefront: The Revolution<\/a>. The game is expected to be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in 2015.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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 \u2013 the birthplace of independence \u2013 has become a police state, where surveillance drones and armoured patrols keep her once-proud citizens at heel, crushing any dissent with savage force.”<\/p>\n

Based on Crytek’s\u00a0press release<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
