THQ has closed down Kaos Studios, the developer of the FPS Homefront, which was released on the PS3, 360, and PC this past March. THQ's Montreal studio (yeah, I didn't know they had one either) is now going to be responsible for the Homefront franchise. Yeah... something doesn't fit here. Homefront sold over a million copies in its first week on sale, and THQ was happy enough with the sales of the new IP that it wanted a sequel; and yet, it fired the people who brought us the original. Of course... business as usual. THQ wants a game with better reviews, though (Homefront got pretty mixed reviews); so, we are apparently getting a Homefront 2 that will be vastly different from its predecessor... and supposedly better.
We'll see.
