HD and classic versions of the space strategy series coming to Steam; no release date announced.

Gearbox Software has revealed plans to remaster classic space strategy series Homefront, and bring the games to digital platforms.

CEO Randy Pitchford announced that the successful acquisition of the licence from the now defunct THQ was the only bid made for the franchise by a developer during the process, with the other two competing offers made by unnamed game publishers.

The studio will bring both to its hit RPG, first-person shooter hybrid, Borderlands 2.

In April this year was unsuccessful after developer TeamPixel was unable to secure the game#146;s rights.
