PAX East 2011: Homefront Launch Trailer


We’re just a few days away from the breach of the united Korean Army, so THQ brought the game’s launch trailer into PAX East 2011. Trailer seems a bit graphic so watch out.

The game is set in the year 2027, when a united Korea has established a strong alliance in the east. While they’re amassing military strength, the US continued to suffer huge economic decline.

Homefront launches March 15th in North America and on the 18th in Europe. That’s next week, so those looking for a cool story-dense FPS might want to check it out.
