Crytek and Deep Silver unveil America's second War of Independence with Homefront: The Revolution (preview)

Crytek and Deep Silver are announcing today that they will create and publish Homefront: The Revolution, a first-person shooter set in a future dystopian America, on next-generation consoles and PC in 2015.

The story is set four years after the events of the original game, where North Korea invaded the U.S. THQ published the original Homefront in 2011, surprising gamers with the novelty of a defensive battle in American towns and cities. After THQ went bankrupt, Frankfurt, Germany-based Crytek acquired the rights to Homefront, and its United Kingdom studio began work on a sequel.
