Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios today proudly announce the release of their new epic first person shooter, Homefront®: The Revolution.
Available today in North America and May 20th throughout the rest of the world, players will be able to immerse themselves in this truly unique story-driven shooter. Taking the role of a resistance fighter that is outgunned and outmatched, fight to liberate Philadelphia from oppression and its occupying forces.
“With Homefront: The Revolution, we deliver a reboot of the Homefront IP, a brand new open world shooter game with asymmetric, guerilla warfare. Not only that, we also deliver with it a deep story about defending our values, defending our country, defending our society, and that is as current as it can be,” said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media.
Revealed today are also further details on the Expansion Pass. The Homefront: The Revolution Expansion Pass includes access to the three single-player campaign expansions. It also unlocks exclusive bonuses for use in Homefront’s online co-operative experience, ‘Resistance Mode.’
Coming in 2016, The Voice of Freedom and Aftermath will both add new districts and several hours of original single-player content that complement Homefront’s huge 30-hour campaign. A much larger expansion – Beyond the Walls – will follow in 2017, with more details to come.
Expansion Pass holders also benefit from these Resistance Mode perks:
· ‘Supply Line’ entitles players to a FREE Resistance Crate each week, just for logging into Resistance Mode
· ‘The Right Kind of School’ unlocks three new starting backgrounds for your Resistance Mode character: ‘ATF Agent’, ‘G-Man’ and ‘U.S. Marshall’
In addition to the epic 30-hour single player campaign, Homefront’s online co-operative ‘Resistance Mode’ will launch with six Missions, with the first set of new Missions set to arrive in June. All additional Resistance Mode missions will be FREE, and Dambuster Studios are committed to delivering high quality added content updates for the first year at no extra cost.
About Homefront: The Revolution
Story
Four years into the brutal military occupation, America is on its knees.
Philadelphia – once the birthplace of Independence – has become a ghetto, where surveillance drones and armoured patrols keep the population at heel, crushing any dissent with savage force.
Her once-proud citizens live in a police state, forced to collaborate just to survive, their dreams of freedom long since extinguished.
But in the badlands of the Red Zone, in the bombed out streets and abandoned subways, a Resistance is forming. A guerrilla force, determined to fight for their freedoms despite overwhelming odds and ignite the second American Revolution.
But Freedom always has a price…
Overview
Homefront®: The Revolution is an open-world first person shooter where you must lead the Resistance movement in guerrilla warfare against a superior military force.
A living, breathing, open world responds to your actions – you and your Resistance Cell can inspire a rebellion on the streets and turn Occupation into Revolution, as oppressed civilians take up the fight.
But your enemy has the advantage – superior technology, firepower, heavy armour and air support. You must learn the art of guerrilla warfare – ambush, sabotage, infiltration, deception – and fight a running battle through the war-ravaged suburbs of Philadelphia.
And the single player campaign is just the start – in Co-Op you and your friends can form your own Resistance Cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution.
