Homefront PC-bound

Originally announced as a console-exclusive title, THQ has revealed plans for a PC edition of Kaos Studios' upcoming first person shooter, Homefront. Word is that Digital Extremes will be handling the Windows port, adding dedicated server support and various community features to help tailor the experience for our beloved platform. Here's a little snippet from the press release:

"Digital Extremes has a superb track record in PC development," said David Votypka, General Manager at Kaos Studios, THQ. "While the team here at Kaos is completely focused on the core Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Homefront, our partnership with Digital Extremes means that PC gamers can look forward to a version of the game tailored to the demands of the discerning PC gamer."

"We’re building on the great game that Kaos Studios is making and enhancing it with specific PC relevant features," added Frank De Lise, Executive Producer, THQ. "PC players will be able to set up and host Homefront dedicated servers and enjoy additional community features including2153 clan support. We believe the core PC first-person-shooter fan will really appreciate these features, which are becoming increasingly rare."

Hopefully it turns out well!
