Baseball Fields, Strip Malls and Suburban Neighborhoods Become Battlefields in THQ and Kaos Studios’ Brand New Shooter for Xbox 360®, PLAYSTATION®3 and Windows PC

AGOURA HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–THQ Inc. (NASDAQ:THQI) today announced Homefront™, a new First Person Shooter (FPS) from internal developer Kaos Studios®. Penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront is set ten years after the economic collapse of the United States and follows the American Civilian Resistance as they fight to reclaim their homeland from an oppressive North Korean occupation. Featuring a personal, story-driven single player campaign and a full suite of multiplayer options, Homefront is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Homefront will be unveiled at E3 2009 in THQ’s booth – number 5300 in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

“Homefront isn’t about going to war on the other side of the world or battling aliens from another planet; it’s about fighting foreign invaders in your own backyard and defending your right to live,” said David Votypka, design director, Kaos Studios. “Homefront combines the unsettling notion of an occupied America with interactive, player-driven narratives to create a deeply engaging single and multiplayer experience.”

“Kaos Studios is using powerful narrative and environmental storytelling to create a plausible, near-futuristic setting where the people of a once mighty nation must fight to maintain their existence,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “This harsh backdrop will be the foundation for an emotionally-charged single-player campaign and an intense multiplayer experience.”

About Homefront

The year is 2027. The world has suffered a decade-long energy crisis, and economies have crumbled. Reduced to a mere shadow of the super power it once was, the United States became the target of a North Korean takeover. American malls, suburbs and city streets are now battlegrounds as the civilian resistance fights for freedom. Featuring a compelling single player story crafted by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront immerses gamers in an interactive and cinematic FPS experience where they will assume an infantry role or take command of a wide variety of aerial and ground vehicles. In addition to the single-player experience, Homefront will deliver a robust multiplayer experience. In a land stripped of freedom, the brave will fight for their home.

(From Joystiq)

As we here in the United States take a day off from work, and from our busy routines to spend time with family and friends, I hope all of us will take a minute to reflect on our Military who stand guard and defend our Country. I know we get a lot of readers from other countries, so I hope all of you can share this day with us and remember all of your fallen heroes and pray for all of our Military.

With my job I am fortunate enough to be able to travel, and one of my trips took me to Washington DC. I cleared some of my schedule and took the tour of Arlington National Cemetery. While there I had the privilege to witness the “Changing of the Guard” who stands guard over the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier. There were hundreds of people gathered and it still amazes me the reverence that all shared during this Ceremony. We here in the United States have a wide range of Political View Points, but it was awesome that everyone there stood in silence and honored the Fallen Soldier. I will never get through another Memorial Day without thinking of my trip to Arlington National Cemetery. 

For all of you that have Family and  Friends in the Military or have lost a loved in the line of duty, I want you to know that we here at Tilt Mobility, Fuze Mobility, Mobility Digest, and XBOX 360 Digest all honor and pray for you this day.

Sincerely,

Doug Smith
