Action-based titles and intense war dramas have been alluring enthusiasts across the gaming terrain. Following the huge success garnered by Medal of Honor and CoD: Black Ops, several developers have been crafting games against the backdrop of devastated and ravaged battlefields. We recently reported about the release of another such title dubbed Homefront from the house of THQ.
It’s been a little more than a week since the first person shooter zoomed into the realm and the game is already making news. THQ recently disclosed that it has shipped out approximately 2.4 million units of Homefront while registering a sales figure amounting to over 1 million copies. The title has also managed to occupy the peak position in UK Chart Track’s March 21st weekly report.
“We are very pleased with strong worldwide shipments and sell-through for Homefront, and we continue to fulfill new retail orders for the game across the globe,” beamed Brian Farrell, THQ President and CEO. “Homefront is clearly resonating with gamers and we are certainly pleased with our initial sales results.”
Homefront has been set in 2027, depicting the events following the fall of the American state. Touted to be a police state in this fictional tale, the US is now fighting a war to retain its freedom from the overpowering military force. In the game, players can join the Resistance to immerse in this journey which unravels a terrifying, fictional near-future world.
Developed by Kaos Studio, THQ’s Homefront is available across North America and Europe for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC.
