Colorado is the 38th state in the United States of America.
History[]
Wall of the Lost. Colorado Springs. March 7, 2026
Colorado was badly affected by the economic recession in which several small towns in the state were almost deserted. It was invaded by the KPA in 2025 and annexed into the New Korean Federation of Occupied America, being renamed as the Colorado Territory.[1] Denver was designated as a "green zone" and the KPA conducted oil shale mining operations throughout the state.
The Colorado city of Montrose is one of the main settings in Homefront. In 2027 the GKR has a shale mining operation underway in Colorado Springs and Montrose.[2]
Following a major Resistance raid against the GKR's main supply depot in Montrose, the GKR systematically massacred Montrose's population in an attempt to destroy the Montrose Resistance. This triggered a massive uprising that saw the surviving resistance cells from both Montrose and Gunnison destroying the wall encircling Montrose, allowing the survivors to escape.[3]
Trivia[]
- Colorado shares the setting to John Milius's Red Dawn. David Votypka and Zach Wilson acknowledges the similarities, but they specifically chose Colorado's setting for its energy resource of oil shale.[4]

- ↑ Zach Wilson on Homefront: Prima Official Game Guide: "Colorado was definitely a nice tie in with John's work, but this came from the original premise of our game - the idea that the enemy is invading (partially) to extract the last remaining available energy resources that the country has - in this case, oil shale. Shale is a kind of bituminous kerogen that we have vast, untapped bounties of in the western part of the United States."
