Part 8/10:
Miraculously, the Homefront franchise was picked up by Crytek UK, a studio initially renowned for other successful FPS titles. Work began on a sequel, Homefront: The Revolution, which aimed to reimagine the original concept as an open-world shooter. Once thought to be a sign of renewed hope, the project was met with setbacks, including financial difficulties for the studio itself.
Released in May 2016, Homefront: The Revolution faced even harsher criticism than its predecessor. Changes to gameplay mechanics and a different narrative structure could not overcome technical flaws, sluggish gunplay, and uninteresting environments. Though it managed to sell 1.2 million copies, earning approximately €33 million, it failed to reverse the franchise's fortunes.
