Crytek UK reigniting Homefront

Nottingham-based studio responsible for Haze, TimeSplitters taking on development duties for as-yet-unnamed sequel.

While THQ's stock dived as a result of the mixed critical reception for Homefront, the publisher hinted in May that a sequel was on the way when it announced that 2.6 million sales represented "a solid start for this new franchise." Hopes of a full sequel were dealt a blow back in July when THQ confirmed that it was to shutter Kaos Studios, but today the publisher confirmed that another Homefront game was indeed in the works.

The sequel to Homefront will be released at some point in the THQ's 2014 fiscal year--which translates as some time between April 2013 and the end of March 2014--according to the publisher. The game, which does not yet have a title, will be developed by Crytek's Nottingham studio, which was known as Free Radical before it was bought up by the German developer best known for the Crysis series and Crytek engine.

Free Radical's most recent game before being annexed was the less-than-stellar Haze, though before that it was best known for the revered Timesplitters series. Details on the game were scarce, save that it wil be powered by "the very latest" CryEngine technology.

The game will be released on "PC and home console platforms," according to THQ. The press release for the game does not confirm specifics, though it does reference both PlayStation and Xbox platforms, with no mention of the Wii U or other Nintendo offerings. For more on the franchise, check out the GameSpot video review of the original Homefront below.

Maybe but they'd be insane to not have ps3 and 360 versions also. The new platforms will still have tiny install bases relative to the production costs.

Oh man, if Homefront 2 is a Vietnam-esque drug trip told from the perspective of the disillusioned invading Korean soldiers, I'm there Day 1.

when I was relived that Free Radical got to live on in some fashion after Crytek rescued them, I didn't have shit like this in mind for them.

Ah, what the hell, I actually sorta liked Haze.  I guess they can give dudebro another shot.
