DEEP SILVER have confirmed the release date for upcoming title Homefront: The Revolution.

 

Homefront: The Revolution comes out in May

 

The first-person shooter is coming to the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will be released on May 17 in North America with a May 20 date for the rest of the world.

And for fans looking for a taste of what's to come, Deep Silver have confirmed that a Closed Beta is set to launch exclusively on the Xbox One in February.

Meanwhile, a brand new gameplay trailer for Homefront has been unveiled, titled 'This is Philadelphia'.

The video gives an insight into the city's Yellow Zone, described by Deep Silver as "the densely populated areas of Philadelphia where civilians live in constant fear.

 

A new trailer for Homefront has also been unveiled

 

"A mix of Orwellian police state and ghetto slums, the People are kept under the heel of oppression through permanent surveillance, 24-hour propaganda and an ever-constant military presence."

Homefront also features two other unique zones, the Red Zones and the Green Zones.

Deep Silver adds: "The Red Zones are war-ravaged wastelands, where the first armed uprising against the KPA Occupation was brutally crushed.

"In these uninhabited and desolate ruins, the Resistance wages constant guerrilla warfare against the KPA.

 

Lead a rebellion against the occupying forces

"The Green Zones are the highly militaries command centres from where the KPA exercise their power and control.

"Iconic landmarks of Philadelphia such as Independence Hall have been repurposed to house the KPA Elites and high ranking American collaborators.

"Breaching these Green Zones would mean suicide for all but the boldest of Resistance fighters…"

Players will take charge of a Freedom Fighter in the Resistance, with the aim of liberating the People from the Occupation.

Using a variety of weapons and launching attacks across all Zones, it is down to the player to inspire a rebellion on the streets.
