The other month it was confirmed by SCEA that Home would under go a redesign later this year with the new 'Hub' space and now it's also been confirmed by SCEE for the SCEE region.
The redesign will see a new Hub space that will let users play meta games, that let you take on quests such as defending the Hub from attack. Besides quests, the Hub integrates games, community events and user-generated content. "We are giving the keys to the castle to the users so they can make their own goods," Jack Buser said.
The Hub will also let users look at an activity board showing the various games in progress and missions that they can fulfill and also let users create their own events to share with friends. Visitors can earn points for game-like activities.
The Hub will also let users jump to different districts that emphasize different game genres within Home and will be made up of 4 main areas.
A number of new games will come with the launch of the Hub, with one being a FPS game called Bootleggers 29, that will task users with trying to steal a barrel in the middle of a warhouse why fighting off other gangsters in this multiplayer game.
Another free game will see the long waited return of poker, that was greatly missed by a big part of the Home community when the EA complex was removed, Poker will be featured in the Sports hub and users will be able to play a full-scale poker experience with 3D avatars. You can also watch or take actions that will drive animations, such as an avatar pulling in poker chips. You will still bec able to play pool or bowling, plus sports trivia games.
