Homefront: The Revolution

In Homefront: The Revolution’s alternate history, North Korea embraces free trade following the Korean War. The country becomes home to a Steve Jobs-like tech genius and the nation flourishes by becoming technologically superior.

When we default, the North Koreans switch off all the military hardware they sold us and pay us a visit to offer some “aid.” That turns into an occupation, which in turn gets violent.

That’s where the resistance comes in, and players get to start taking about Philadelphia piece by bloody piece. You can see how it all begins in a mockumentary about the Apex corporation.
