THE TIME HAS COME TO GO BEYOND THE WALLS IN THE SPRING UPDATE FOR HOMEFRONT®: THE REVOLUTION

Philadelphia, PA – March 8, 2017 – Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios this week began the rollout of the Spring Update for Homefront: The Revolution. This includes a full free trial version of the game for Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft. The free game trial for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system will go live on March 14th. Additionally the update includes the third and final piece of single player DLC, Beyond The Walls and a dedicated patch for PS4 Pro™ owners.

For PlayStation 4 Pro owners, a specific patch went live on March 6th, as the first part of the two stage update.

The final piece of DLC content for the game, Beyond The Walls, is released today and takes players to a brand new environment – the rural heartlands of Pennsylvania. It begins with the final stronghold of the Resistance, Philadelphia, about to fall to the counter-insurgency might of the KPA. With the second American Revolution seemingly crushed, a glimmer of light appears in the darkness: A NATO agent attempts to contact the Resistance with information that could lead to the end of the nightmarish regime of the KPA. This is your final chance to free America, but will the KPA find you before you get the chance?

Beyond The Walls is free to all holders of the Homefront Expansion Pass, and available to purchase separately for $12.99. It is ready to download now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC via Steam.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Red Barrels Enter Worldwide Retail Distribution Agreement for Outlast Trinity

Bundle Including Outlast, Outlast Whistle Blower and Outlast 2 Will Be Available at Retail Stores Beginning April 26

Sydney Australia, March 8, 2017 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Red Barrels today announced a worldwide distribution agreement for Outlast Trinity, a physical bundle that packages the upcoming Outlast 2 with Outlast and Outlast Whistleblower downloadable content.  Outlast Trinity will be available beginning April 26 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and PC, the same day Outlast 2 launches on digital platforms worldwide.  

“Red Barrels has made a name for itself in the survival horror genre with the original Outlast game,” said Kevin Kebodeaux, Senior Vice President, Sales, Americas, Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment.  “We look forward to working closely with this great group of developers to bring Outlast Trinity to gamers around the world.”

“We’ve been lucky to have such an amazing fan base, and none of this would have been possible without their support,” said Co-Founder Philippe Morin, Red Barrels. “Ever since we released Outlast in 2013, a physical version has been one of the top requests, so we’re obviously thrilled to finally give people the entire series in one bundle of terror.”

The sequel to the original critically acclaimed game, Outlast 2 is a twisted new journey into the depths of the human mind and its dark secrets. Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with his wife Lynn, must take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch. As the two follow a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe, the investigation leads them miles into the Arizona desert to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do.

The original Outlast game released in 2013 and takes place in the remote mountains of Colorado where horrors wait inside Mount Massive Asylum. A long abandoned home for the mentally ill, Mount Massive Asylum was recently re-opened by the “research and charity” branch of the transnational Murkoff Corporation, and has been operating in strict secrecy.  Acting on a tip from an anonymous source, independent journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the facility and what he discovers walks a terrifying line between science, religion, nature and something else entirely. Once inside, his only hope of escape lies with the terrible truth at the heart of Mount Massive.

Outlast Whistleblower is DLC that tells the story before and after the events of Outlast to show the final chapter in Mount Massive Asylum’s story.  Players take on the role of Waylon Park, a software engineer under contract with Murkoff, who identifies with the poor souls housed in the facility.  Fueled by his  anger, the stage is set for the unmasking of Mount Massive’s rotten core.
