Sequel News: Homefront Follow-Up Confirmed
Crytek and THQ strike out for sequel ground
by Tim Smith
The rather tepid outing that was Homefront came with much hype hoopla but not a vast amount of gaming (see our review here). That's not going to stop it getting a THQ and Crytek sequel.
The official blurb has it that, "Selecting Crytek to take Homefront forward underscores our strategy of working with the industry's best talent," said Danny Bilson, EVP Core Games, THQ.
Mr Bilson proceeds in exuberant fashion, "Homefront's unique setting and storyline captivated gamers the world over. With Crytek's industry leading technology and legendary experience in the FPS genre, we're supremely confident that the next Homefront will deliver that AAA-quality experience that players demand."
Cevat Yerli, Founder, CEO and President of Crytek, is also full of praise for the yet-to-be-developed title, "We believe that bringing our level of quality, creativity and production values to the next Homefront title, creates an opportunity for both THQ and Crytek to deliver a truly blockbuster game. It's really important to us that THQ has the faith in giving us a lot of creative freedom over one of its most important properties to allow us to bring the Homefront world to life in a new and innovative way."
In terms of fact, we're told that, "The yet to be named sequel is scheduled for release in THQ's fiscal year 2014 on console and PC platforms."
