INFO HOMEFRONT TOPIC

The year is 2027. The world has suffered a decade-long energy crisis, and economies have crumbled. Reduced to a mere shadow of the super power it once was, the United States became the target of a North Korean takeover. American malls, suburbs and city streets are now battlegrounds as the civilian resistance fights for freedom. Featuring a compelling single player story crafted by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront immerses gamers in an interactive and cinematic FPS experience where they will assume an infantry role or take command of a wide variety of aerial and ground vehicles. In addition to the single-player experience, Homefront will deliver a robust multiplayer experience. In a land stripped of freedom, the brave will fight for their home.

“Homefront isn’t about going to war on the other side of the world or battling aliens from another planet; it’s about fighting foreign invaders in your own backyard and defending your right to live,” said David Votypka, design director, Kaos Studios. “Homefront combines the unsettling notion of an occupied America with interactive, player-driven narratives to create a deeply engaging single and multiplayer experience.”

“Kaos Studios is using powerful narrative and environmental storytelling to create a plausible, near-futuristic setting where the people of a once mighty nation must fight to maintain their existence,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “This harsh backdrop will be the foundation for an emotionally-charged single-player campaign and an intense multiplayer experience.”

 As other studios close or have massive reductions in staff, Kaos continues to grow.

New York-based Kaos Studios, a division of videogame publisher THQ, today announced that it’s ramping up staff as it moves into full development on an unannounced project. Kaos’ debut title, Frontlines: Fuel of War, was a commercial and critical success, shipping more than one million units and holding the record for most players on the XBOX 360 in a FPS game (50 simultaneous).

Driving this hiring effort will be the studio’s new General Manager David Schulman.

"This is a very exciting time for Kaos Studios and I look forward to expanding our very talented team,” said David Schulman, general manager of Kaos. "Building on the success of Frontlines: Fuel of War, we plan to continue to introduce groundbreaking new features in our next project.”

Kaos has also re-launched KaosStudios.com, revealing behind-the-scenes information about the studio, specifics about the positions the studio is seeking to fill, a comprehensive guide to working in New York City and a “Top Ten List” for joining the Kaos team. Those who are interested in relieving some stress may be very interested in reason #4.

Schulman noted that "Manhattan is a major cultural center of the world and our team is one of the most talented in the industry. It’s a remarkable time to be here.”

  I think we all look forward to Kaos' next game.
