THQ and Kaos Studios announce Homefront

THQ may be not doing so well in terms of their fianancial situation at the moment but the publisher is still one of the majors and today they announced a major new FPS game. Titled Homefront, the game comes from their Kaos Studios dev team who released Frontlines: Fuel of War in early 2008.

Much like Frontlines, which depicted a near-future where armes fought over low oil supplies, Homefront is also set in a "ripped from the headlines" near-future where the North Koreans have occupied the US following the economic collapse of the country. The story-driven game follows the American Civilian Resistance movement as they try to retake the US.

If this sound a bit like the movie Red Dawn, there's a reason; the director of that classic 1980's flick John Milius has created the storyline for Homefront. The game, which will also have multiplayer options, will be shown at E3 next week. No release date was announced.
