Homeworld: Remastered Collection

Real Time Strategy (RTS)SimulatorStrategyAdventure

Military · Sci-Fi

Homeworld's defining characteristic is its three-dimensional space combat, demanding players master the Z-axis in a way few other RTS titles have attempted. The ability to freely rotate the camera and issue commands to your fleet in open space created a unique tactical layer, rewarding careful positioning and flanking maneuvers. Its memorable sci-fi atmosphere and narrative, coupled with the constant threat of resource scarcity and the feeling of a desperate journey across the galaxy, have cemented its place in the genre.

About Homeworld: Remastered Collection

Details
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.
