THE REBELLION HANGS IN THE BALANCE IN AFTERMATH; THE LATEST SINGLE-PLAYER DLC FOR HOMEFRONT®: THE REVOLUTION 

Plus a new Resistance Mode Mission – “Uncle S.A.M.” - now available for all players 

Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios today released the second piece of additional single player content for Homefront®: The Revolution. 

Aftermath is set in the days after the Battle for Philadelphia, when the fledgling rebellion hangs in the balance. The inspirational Resistance figurehead Benjamin Walker has been broken by the KPA, and is now broadcasting counter-revolutionary propaganda for the enemy. Support for the embattled Resistance is ebbing away… 

As Ethan Brady, you have been tasked to assassinate the man once known as the ‘Voice of Freedom’ for the sake of the Revolution. But instead, you will defy orders and embark on a daring rescue mission. 

Aftermath is free to all holders of the Homefront Expansion Pass, and available to purchase separately for $5.99 (regional pricing may vary). It is ready to download now for Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC via Steam. 

A new FREE Resistance Mode Mission - Uncle S.A.M. - has also been added as part of this week’s patch, and is available to all players. Your Squad must counter the KPA’s aerial superiority by deploying S.A.M. launchers, then take out their Air Force’s high command in a deadly strike…  Any players returning to Homefront: The Revolution will also find that the recent ‘Performance Patch’ has massively improved the overall experience.

ABOUT AFTERMATH 

The Revolution has begun and most of Philadelphia is now under Resistance control, but as the fighting intensifies morale is being destroyed by KPA propaganda broadcasts from the captured Resistance leader Walker.  Against all odds you must defy orders and attempt to rescue Walker before the Resistance silence him permanently…. 
  
·        Play as lone wolf Ethan Brady and defy resistance leadership to liberate Walker from the clutches of the KPA 
·        Discover what happened to Walker after his capture and why he is broadcasting against the resistance 
·        Cross into new areas of KPA occupied Philadelphia and risk your life for what many believe is a resistance traitor 

ABOUT UNCLE S.A.M. 

The KPA are in the process of re-establishing their air support across Philadelphia. If we let them get their air force back online, we'll be seriously outgunned and all our hard fought progress could be undone. We've located the site where they are co-ordinating this support. We want the Wraiths to go in and knock out the dusters so that our S.A.M. launchers can come in and deal with the rest of the airforce. Once the S.A.M. launchers have been deployed, we need you to head to the KPA headquarters and assassinate the officials responsible for the air support program.
