Dev Diary: The World of Homefront
“The World of Homefront” explores the implications of a video game that follows members of a resistance cell fighting for their country, and the emotional impact of how rural suburbs, schools and landmarks are affected by war. The basis of the game looks into the “what if” scenario. What if America was invaded? What if a US occupation by a foreign oppressor takes place? How far will people go to survive? When developing the storyline and setting for Homefront, past and current historical world events were taken into account to create a speculative fictional story. Could a decline of the US economic structure give rise to a stronger political power and allow an invasion of the US?
About Homefront:
The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources.
A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic.
Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners… or collaborators… or revolutionaries.
Join the Resistance, stand united and fight for freedom against an overwhelming military force in Homefront’s gripping single player campaign penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn). Stand alongside a cast of memorable characters as an emotional plot unfolds in this terrifyingly plausible near-future world. Experience visceral, cinematic first-person shooter action as you fight your way across Occupied USA using guerrilla tactics, and commandeer military vehicles and advanced drone technology to defeat the enemy.
Multiplayer brings epic warfare to the online arena as infantry, tanks, attack helicopters and combat drones battle across huge, open battlefields.
