Overview
Description

Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action-adventure shooter game played from a first-person perspective that drops supernatural elements in favor of a dark, alternate history where the Nazis won World War II using advanced technology. Players step into the combat boots of war hero B.J. Blazkowicz as he awakens from a multi-year coma into a terrifying new reality, arming up once again to cripple the regime and spark a global resistance. Throughout the campaign, players battle formidable enemies across diverse levels utilizing a dynamic health and cover system that rewards tactical movement, leaning, and dual-wielding firearms. Blazkowicz can scavenge weapons from the ground or dead enemies to turn the tide in high-stakes shootouts and tension-filled stealth missions, embarking on a cinematic quest to assassinate General Wilhelm "Deathshead" Strasse and liberate humanity.

Homefront: The Revolution is an open-world first-person shooter where you must ignite a second American Revolution in a brutal police state. Four years into a crushing military occupation, Philadelphia has become a ghetto patrolled by surveillance drones and armored forces. Fight alongside a growing Resistance cell through the bombed-out streets and badlands of the Red Zone. Utilize guerrilla tactics, scavenge and customize your arsenal on the fly, and inspire oppressed civilians to rise up against their occupiers in both single-player and co-operative modes.
