It’s business as usual for Homefront 2 following the IP’s purchase by Crytek.

“Nothing has changed with regards our development of the game, and we look forward to sharing the finished product with players,” Crytek games GM Nick Button-Brown said in a statement.

Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli said in a statement said Crytek has been a “firm believer” in the Homefront IP since it signed on to develop the sequel.

“Our cooperation with THQ was always positive and we would like to thank them for all their support over the last two years and express our sympathy to those affected by the recent events at the company,” he added.

The first, poorly-received Homefront was developed by Kaos Studios, which was later closed. New developer Crytek UK is the studio once known as Free Radical, which produced the Timesplitters series.

THQ’s former VP of Core Games, Danny Bilson, has claimed in an exit interview that the upcoming sequel to Homefront - imaginatively titled Homefront 2 - is “phenomenal”, and will be “five times the game the original was”. The sequel, which is being developed by Crytek after the poor performance of the original forced developers Kaos Studios to shut down, will be running on CryEngine 3 and be set in a “different part of North America”.
