But Gearbox was there to snatch up the rights to the series and begin work anew. Unfortunately the series looked to be dead once its publisher and developer went under. Better graphics, more complex gameplay, and a story that might not have reached the same levels as the first one, but still entertained fans, while expanding its universe. It was later followed up by Homeworld 2, which took much of what the first one did so well and improved upon it. It also featured an intriguing scifi universe that fans could dig deeper into, if they felt the urge to do so. The original Homeworld launched in 1999 with a then revolutionary graphics engine and offered up the first truly 3D space battle experience.
The Homeworld games have a special place in the history of the real time strategy genre.
