Homefront 2 News



Homefront 1
     Homefront was released March 15, 2011.  The developer was THQ and Kaos Studios.  The year set in 2027 in which America has fallen into a savage occupation by the Greater Korean Republic.  It was the player's job to join the resistance
     During the mixed reviews I wasn't sure if I was going to hear anything about a sequel to it.  The game did leave it open in the end for another one, but I wasn't sure if the company would spend the money to make it since the first one didn't sell like I'm sure they were expecting it to.



Crytek now leads Homefront 2
     It was announced in 2011 that THQ had closed the doors to th New York based studio Kaos Studios in 2011.  That wouldn't stop the production of Homefront 2, which a few months after was  put in the hands of Crytek UK, the company that has bought the game Crysis , Far Cry, Ryse and other ones is now set up for production for Homefront 2.  The game will make use of its CryEngine 3, which looks absolutely beautiful in the videos that I have seen.  I can't wait to see more of this.  Below is a technical video to show the CryEngine 3, or you can check this link



     While the studios are keeping the secrets of the game right now, it has been said that it would take part in a different place of North America. 
  
     Homefront 2 is stated for a release by THQ's FY14, which takes place in between April 2013 and March 2014.  While still early in production, nothing has been released.  Once it gets  closer to the release dates there will be trailers, more fill ins about the game.  I know I certainly can't wait to hear more about this.
