Xbox Gaming in South Africa

THQ has announced that downloadable content is in the works for Kaos Studios' military shooter Homefront, scheduled for release over the next "several months."

The announcement came during THQ's recent earnings call, where CEO Brian Farrell revealed that Homefront has shipped 2.6 million copies across all platforms since launch in March 2011.

The publisher also revealed that a multiplayer demo is in the pipeline, which according to Farrel (via Eurogamer), is coming out only after the launch to take advantage of their "strong marketing campaign."

"It's a fairly unusual strategy but where Homefront really shines is the online 32 player multiplayer capability," said Farrell. "We know because of our strong marketing campaign that a lot of people have heard of Homefront and we think with this new demo we might stimulate more new users and purchasers of the game."

There was no specific mention of a release date for either the demo or the planned DLC, but we'll let you know as soon as we hear more.
