Homefront Revolution Gets a Release Date and an Xbox One Exclusive Beta Test

Written by Brandon Hofer on January 13, 2016

News: Deep Silver has finally given us a release date for Homefront Revolution as well as the opportunity to participate in a closed beta on Xbox One.

If you have been patiently waiting for news about Homefront Revolution then I have some good news for you. Not only do we have a release date for it but there is going to be a closed beta, exclusive on Xbox One. Homefront: The Revolution will hit store shelves on May 17, 2016 in North America and on May 20, 2016 internationally.

A living, breathing, open world responds to your actions - you and your Resistance Cell can inspire a rebellion on the streets and turn Occupation into Revolution, as oppressed civilians take up the fight. Your enemy has the advantage though - superior technology, firepower, heavy armor and air support. You must learn the art of guerrilla warfare - ambush, sabotage, infiltration, deception - and fight a running battle through the war-ravaged suburbs of Philadelphia.

In the 'This is Philadelphia' trailer released today, citizens get their first chilling glimpse into the world of Occupied Philadelphia in the year 2029: The birthplace of American freedom has been split into three occupied zones, each zone varying in the level of KPA police activity with each unique zone forcing players to adapt new gameplay strategies in order to further the progress of The Revolution. The 'This is Philadelphia' trailer showcases the unforgiving Yellow Zone, distinct from the war-ravaged wastelands of the Red Zone, and the highly militarized Green Zones, the Yellow Zone is a densely populated environment offering a unique challenge and gameplay experience to would-be Freedom Fighters.

Xbox One owners can sign up now to join the revolution in the exclusive Homefront: The Revolution closed beta. Places are limited, and the only way to gain access is through acquiring an Xbox One Beta Token; Deep Silver and Xbox will be running a number of promotions over the coming weeks that will offer the opportunity to claim a Token and take part. Your best chance of getting a Beta Token and staying informed of developments is by registering on the official Homefront website at www.Homefront-Game.com.

Check out the new trailer below and tell us what you think. Will you be trying to get into the Homefront: Revolution beta? Will you be picking up Homefront: Revolution when it launches in May?
