THQ Vice President Danny Bilson said that their upcoming shooter, Homefront, set for release next week on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, has already pulled in over 200,000 pre-orders in the U.S. alone. It’s now the company’s most pre-ordered game. Congrats, THQ!
That’s the good news. The bad news is more of a rumor, but points to Homefront developer Kaos Studios being dissolved. The same rumors say that a relocation of staff is planned, from New York to Montreal. If that happens, there will some staff trimming needed. Bilson didn’t give any definite word, but he did kind of say that what happens is going to be closely related to how well the game sells.
“A lot of it has to do with how successful it is and how strong that core team comes out on the other side,” Bilson told Eurogamer. “I love those guys. I’ve worked very closely with them on this game for years. There’s nothing disrespectful going on at all. We’re trying to do what’s best for everyone.”
I hope things work out well for Kaos. The pre-order numbers look promising.
