After being detained for four months
Without much fanfare, a single-player add-on forHomefront: The Revolutionhas released. It’s calledThe Voice of Freedom, and it features most-wanted freedom fighter Benjamin Walker as he does revolutionary-like stuff.
Also, Walker and his homies dress up likeSuicide Squadrejects:
Giggle-inducing garb aside, this isHomefront: The Revolution‘s first “major” story DLC. The game released four months ago now, tomostly middling reviews. At least two more single-player add-ons are planned, as outlined in the season pass. This one runs $5.99.
While we haven’t givenThe Voice of Freedoma go,initial Steam reviewsindicate that’s it’s a very short expansion. NotArkham Knightshort, but likely somewhere around an hour long. Some people will surely welcome a linear chapter that sounds like it mostly ditches open-world trappings.
This probably isn’t the cadence at which season pass owners wanted to see more content come out. Four months might as well be four years as far as video game releases go. But, Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios have seemingly been committed to fixing some of the core game’s issues. According toEurogamer, the 1.08 patch resolves major technical shortcomings on consoles.
Not to excuse the condition the game initially released in, but it’s commendable that resources were devoted to improving things. It would’ve been easier to simply not do this work;Homefront: The Revolution‘s legacy was mostly already written anyway. For those few who are still soldiering on and fighting the good fight,The Voice of Freedomis waiting for you.
