We’re less than a week away from the debut of Homefront: The Revolution, which heads to PC and consoles on May 17, and Deep Silver is celebrating with the release of what has to be one of the last promotional videos for the upcoming shooter. And those wanting more information about the game’s plot won’t want to miss this week’s Homefront: The Revolution story trailer.

While not nearly as long as the last promotional video we saw for Homefront: The Revolution, a documentary-style look at the fictitious timeline in which the game is set, this week’s trailer spends a couple of minutes focused entirely on the plot of the open-world shooter. In Homefront , players step into the boots of Ethan Brady, the latest recruit of a small militia with an impossible mission: push the Korean People’s Army back out of Philadelphia.

To our surprise, the trailer doesn’t include a single word about the Apex Corporation ; the fictitious company behind North Korea’s successful occupation of the United States. But the game’s story trailer does briefly discuss the “humanitarian mission” the KPA claimed to be undertaking when its troops first landed on American soil. It also introduces a new figure in the Resistance, Bradley Walker, who will apparently play a key role in the story.

For a closer look at Homefront: The Revolution, take a couple of minutes to watch the new story trailer from Deep Silver and Dambuster Studios. Then head down to the comments section and let us know whether or not you’re planning to pick up Homefront: The Revolution at launch.

Homefront: The Revolution is in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game debuts May 17.
