After quite a few months of silence, Deep Silver showed Homefront: The Revolution again at Microsoft's Gamescom 2015 Media Briefing (check out the CGI trailer and gameplay walkthrough below). In a press release, the publisher announced that the game is scheduled to hit PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Spring 2016.

Homefront: The Revolution Shows The Power of CryENGINE Once Again

Here's a fact sheet of the game, which mentions the ability to play cooperatively with other friends online.

Homefront: The Revolution throws players into an alternate near-future dystopia, where a humanitarian crisis has brought the U.S. to its knees under the brutal military control of a globally dominant Korean corporation. Surveillance drones, armored patrols and police violence have become everyday life in Philadelphia, the once proud birthplace of American independence. However, in the ruined outskirts of the city, a resistance is getting stronger...

On their path to freedom, players have to fight a seemingly unwinnable guerrilla war against a superior military force. Using hit and run tactics, ambushes and infiltration, the resistance relies on surprise attacks and an arsenal of improvised weapons to throw back the oppressors and spread the flame of revolution.

Homefront: The Revolution is an open-world first person shooter where the player must lead a Resistance movement in guerrilla warfare against a superior military force. A living, breathing, open world responds to your every action – the Resistance Cell can inspire a rebellion on the streets and turn Occupation into Revolution, as oppressed civilians take up the fight.

But the enemy has the advantage - superior technology, firepower, heavy armor and air support. Players must learn the art of guerrilla warfare – ambush, sabotage, infiltration, deception – and fight a running battle through the war-ravaged suburbs of Philadelphia.

The single player campaign of Homefront: The Revolution is just the start – in a thrilling Co-Op mode, players can form their own Resistance Cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution.

Features:

• Explore a living, breathing open world - experience true open-world gameplay in a first person shooter, brought to life with astonishing CRYENGINE-powered visuals

• Wage Guerrilla Warfare - this is no linear shooter; learn the art of guerrilla warfare and use ambush, infiltration and hit and run tactics against your foe in thrilling unscripted firefights

• Build the Resistance - recruit revolutionaries to the cause, establish bases and safehouses, capture and customize a deadly arsenal, and build improvised, homebrew weapons for the perfect Guerrilla Tool Kit

• Ignite the Revolution - from oppressed citizen to revolutionary leader, an epic single-player campaign tells the story of the second American War of Independence. The dynamic, evolving world responds to the player’s actions as an oppressed nation rises up in defiance against the occupation

• Online Co-Op - take the battle online, form a Resistance Cell with your friends and earn your reputation as Heroes of the Revolution

Deep Silver bought the Homefront IP and the Crytek UK studio, renaming it to Deep Silver Dambuster. The crew is now led by Game Director Hasit Zala and currently numbers 126 staff members; if you're attending Gamescom 2015, you have the chance to play a Homefront: The Revolution demo by going to the Deep Silver booth in Hall 9.
