Even after its tumultuous closed beta, Homefront: The Revolution’s publisher and developer (Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios) are not taking their foot off the pre-launch promotion pedal.
Last week it was announced that the game would be receiving an expansion pass:
“We’re planning for a dedicated team to work on additional single player content for at least a year after release” said Hasit Zala, Game Director at Dambuster Studios. “We have some exciting ideas that we hope to develop further post launch, but the overall goal is to add some surprising new experiences to the world of Homefront that complement our 30 hour single player campaign. All additional single player content will be covered by the Expansion Pass.”
Not only that, but the title will be receiving its very own collector’s edition, known as the Goliath Edition. This edition will include a radio controlled scale replica ‘Goliath’ Drone, with working lights and six-wheel suspension. The Apex-manufactured Goliath is one of the most fearsome weapons in the KPA’s Counter-Insurgency arsenal. Other treats in the Goliath Edition are:
- An exclusive Steel Book
- A 32 page Art Book featuring Resistance-themed concept art and cutting edge Apex weapon and vehicle technology
- The ‘Revolutionary Spirit’ pack (details below)
- The Homefront: The Revolution Expansion Pass, entitling access to major single player expansions – further information to be revealed at a later date
We’ve reached out to the local distributor and it is unknown at this stage whether Australia will be retailing the Goliath Edition. But for all you die-hard collectors, you can pre-order the Goliath Edition on Amazon for $159.99US. However you may need a mail forwarder as at this stage Amazon will not ship this item to Australia.
And as stated previously, the game’s multiplayer mode, Resistance Mode, will have continued free support for twelve months:
All post release content for Homefront’s co-operative Resistance Mode including new Missions, challenges, features and additional items and equipment will be delivered FREE as part of Dambuster Studios’ commitment to supporting this mode for 12 months.
Homefront: The Revolution will release in Australia on May 20th.
Despite a childhood playing survival horrors, point and clicks and beat ’em ups, these days Zach tries to convince people that Homefront: The Revolution is a good game while pining for a sequel to The Order: 1886 and a live-action Treasure Planet film.
