Homefront is a new first-person shooter by THQ for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Developed by internal THQ studio “Kaos” (makers of Frontlines: Fuel of War) and featuring a script penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront is set ten years after the economic collapse of the United States and follows the American Civilian Resistance as they fight to reclaim their homeland from an oppressive North Korean occupation.
Homefront will feature a “massive multiplayer component” in addition to a story-driven single-player campaign.
According to Kaos design director David Votypka,
“Homefront isn’t about going to war on the other side of the world or battling aliens from another planet; it’s about fighting foreign invaders in your own backyard and defending your right to live. Homefront combines the unsettling notion of an occupied America with interactive, player-driven narratives to create a deeply engaging single and multiplayer experience.”
Homefront will be getting a proper introduction at E3 2009 where we are sure to learn much more information about the upcoming game.
“Kaos Studios is using powerful narrative and environmental storytelling to create a plausible, near-futuristic setting where the people of a once mighty nation must fight to maintain their existence,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “This harsh backdrop will be the foundation for an emotionally-charged single-player campaign and an intense multiplayer experience.”
