At THQ’s Gamers Week event in New York, Microsoft has locked up timed-exclusivity for all future downloadable content on the Xbox 360 for Homefront. Owners of Microsoft’s console will also receive out-and-out exclusive access to the Suburbs multiplayer map.
Due out on March 8, Homefront is a story-driven shooter that is set after a North Korean occupation of the continental United States. The single-player campaign drops players in the role of an American resistance fighter, who is struggling against the Korean People’s Army in an attempt to regain control of the ruined nation. The multiplayer is set earlier, letting players engage in military scenarios from the invasion itself.
THQ has yet to announce its DLC strategy for Homefront. However, the publisher has given gamers an indication of what they can expect from Homefront’s online mode. New copies of Homefront will come packed in with a single-use code to access the game’s multiplayer component. Those who pick up the game secondhand–through rental or as a used purchase–must pony up $10 to access the game’s full online component.
