Homefront: The Revolution Delayed

The Xbox One, PS4 and PC game is pushed to 2016.

Deep Silver has announced that its coming open-world FPS Homefront: The Revolution has been delayed. The game was previously expected to launch this year.

The first Homefront was published by THQ, but when the publisher went bankrupt, Crysis developer Crytek stepped in to buy the franchise for $544,000. However, Crytek later sold the game to Deep Silver, which put its new Dambuster Studios to work on The Revolution.

"We are giving the team every opportunity to turn Homefront: The Revolution into a best-selling title, and have set a 2016 release date to provide them the time they need to achieve this," Deep Silver chief executive Klemens Kundratitz said about the delay. "You can expect to hear more about the game later this year."

The Revolution is set in a United States (Philadelphia, specifically) that has been occupied by North Korean military forces for four years. Players will lead a resistance movement utilizing guerrilla warfare tactics to battle the "superior" North Korean army.
