News: Homefront: Revolution is coming out in 2016, however, Xbox One gamers are going to get early access to the MP beta this Winter.

Homefront: Revolution is a game we haven’t heard about in a long time. Earlier today during their Gamescom media briefing, Microsoft and Deep Silver showed off a new trailer to show us that not only was Homefront: Revolution still in development, it is going to be released in 2016. 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. 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.

The single player campaign is just the start. There is also a co-op mode where you can form your own Resistance Cell and become renowned as Heroes of the Revolution. In addition to that, Homefront: Revolution has the following features:

Explore a living, breathing open world - experience true open-world gameplay in a first person shooter, brought to life with 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

Take a look at the trailer that was revealed earlier today and tell us what you think. Homefront: Revolution is slated to be released in 2016 with Xbox One gamers getting early access to the multiplayer beta this Winter. Will you be picking this game up?
