Over the past 10 years, ever since we saw the last of the critically-acclaimed Homeworld series, a number of key developers working on games for developers Relic left the studio. Many of them have now settled in at a new home, Blackbird Interactive, where they’re working on “an ambitious and original sci-fi social strategy game” called Hardware.
Fans of Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and Homeworld take note: developers Relic will be showing off a new real-time strategy game in August.
Less than a month after the official closure of the Homeworld 1 servers, Relic have let slip a few little hints (ok, big hints) about possible future installments.
Some enterprising types over at fan site Relic News have gone patent-digging. Unearth anything interesting, then lads? YES. They’ve found that THQ, who now own original Homeworld developers Relic, have picked up the rights to the series from former owners Vivendi (ie Sierra). This isn’t confirmation that any new Homeworld titles are in the making, of course, but then they’d hardly go to all the trouble of getting the rights if they weren’t going to something with them. As someone who only last month was playing the original and remarked aloud “could really do with another of these fantastic games”, this is truly exciting news.
