Homeworld Remastered Collection updates and introduces the landmark space
strategy games to modern audiences. The collection includes Homeworld and Homeworld 2,
painstakingly remastered by Gearbox in cooperation with key members of the original
development team and members of the series’ passionate fan community. As a free bonus,
this collection also includes the original versions of Homeworld and Homeworld 2 with
compatibility updates, preserving the purest form of the original releases. Anyone who
purchases Homeworld Remastered Collection will also receive free access to the Homeworld
Remastered Steam Multiplayer Beta when the collection releases on February 25, 2015. The
Homeworld series has a long legacy and is regarded by many as one of the best strategy
series of all time. Following its release in 1999 by publisher Sierra and developer
Relic Entertainment, Homeworld received several Game of the Year awards and redefined
the RTS genre. Its sequel, Homeworld 2, launched in 2003, and was similarly praised by
critics for its innovative controls and changes to multiplayer. Brian Martel, Gearbox
Software's Chief Creative Officer, has great love and respect for
Relic's brilliant, fun and innovative franchise and personally spearheaded
Gearbox Software’s acquisition of Homeworld from THQ in 2013.
