Homefront: The Revolution's Guerrilla Warfare, Freedom and "Omnipresent Pressure" - Video Interview

Homefront: The Revolution is a rather different prospect to its predecessor, 2011's Homefront, with a new developer at the helm and a reset timeline that bears little relation to that seen in the first game. It's not a direct sequel, so could be considered something of a clean slate for the Homefront franchise.

Eschewing Homefront's linear FPS design in favour of an open-world Philadelphia in which the occupying Korean People's Army keep the populace in check beneath its oppressive jackboots, The Revolution is looking to bring guerrilla warfare to the fore, while weaving a new story.

Having checked out the game (give our hands-on preview a read here), we sat down with Senior Narrative Designer CJ Kershner to get some more insights into Homefront: The Revolution, including possible Far Cry influences, common elements from the first game, multiplayer and loads more. Get the lowdown below.

Homefront: The Revolution is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in early 2016.

  • There was MP in first game? I remember first game being mediocre, but this could be something quite amazing if done right. Only time will tell if they can pull it off or not. Also, co-op outside of story missions would be a nice addition a la FC...
  • This is giving me 'Freedom Fighter' vibes...
  • Am very interested in this game, just hope it can live up to the hype. On a slightly unrelated note (mainly because this site never posts my tips), the PlayStation Plus games for September are Grow Home (chosen by fans as their pick for the month) and Super Time Force Ultra for the PlayStation 4, Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3, and La Mulana EX for the PS Vita. In addition, Xeodrifter will be available on the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita with Teslagrad available for download on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
  • I NEED IT!
  • @3 Maybe this site never posts your tips because they already posted the PS+ games ages ago, and that news story is now on the second page.
  • @5 ok, I have to admit I somehow managed to completely miss that, my bad. I do however normally give them items to post about 2-3 days before they put an article up because I feel that people on the 2 sites would like to know certain information as soon as it is available. Just find it funny that they ask for tips in the top right hand corner, yet don't post them but are happy to post rumours...
  • Reminds me of brink.
  • It can't be any less stable than the first game.
  • Is there any comment to keep up the servers longer than the original?
