The awaited sequel "Homefront: The Revolution" will bring players to Philadelphia where there is a need to fight against surveillance drones and oppressors through a warfare and ambush.

More than a first-person shooter game, "Homefront: The Revolution" dabbles with the fanfare of open-world gaming to offer players a very immersive and compelling world as they fight for freedom.

"Crytek has an outstanding track record of creating AAA action games. Homefront is a fascinating IP with huge global potential. With Crytek's technical pedigree and Deep Silver's publishing expertise we will take the IP to new heights." said Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Deep Silver's mother company Koch Media, in the Crytek Blog.

Crytek has announced that "Homefront: The Revolution" will debut on the PS4, Xbox One and PC. GameSpot reports that the release date for all platforms has been pegged to a vague 2015, with more details expected to come in during E3 2014.

On the Xbox One: How "Homefront: The Revolution" Fares

"Homefront: The Revolution" is shaping up to be the awaited sequel that will be taking advantage of the next-gen hardware and technology.

This is already seen in the Xbox One and how the team was able to maximise the offering of CryEngine to as far that it can as possible. Speaking with Fashat Shalim, Crytek UK Associate Producer, Xbox Wire got the lowdown on how "Homefront: The Revolution" looks on the Xbox One.

According to Shalim, the Xbox One has allowed for an open-world game that takes guerilla warfare into a more realistic and dynamic setting. Like other open-world games, the players' actions and decisions affects the environment as well as other inhabitants.

"Yes, we were really interested in the setting and the premise of the original "Homefront." It was very different from what you find in first-person shooters these days; the prevailing narrative these days is that you're a badass military soldier, running around the world just shooting bad guys... you are the ultimate machine," said Shalim to Xbox Wire.

As far as other aspects of the game is concerned, Shalim also reveals that there will be a confirmed four-player co-op and an exploration of a setting that has very similar features and districts in Philadelphia.

"'Homefront' kind of flipped this and changed the dynamic by bringing the battlefields to the U.S.; now the combat is in our own backyard. This is a familiar environment, but it's also changed--it's alien."
