Game Groups > Homeworld series

A series of free-roaming futuristic strategy games set in space, originally developed by Relic Entertainment, then continued by Blackbird Interactive.

The franchise was owned by Sierra until 2007, when it was transferred to THQ. Earlier, THQ had already acquired Relic, but couldn't make new games in the series as the IP was still owned by Sierra. Following THQ's bankruptcy in January 2013, the IP was acquired by Gearbox Software, who signed a deal with Blackbird Interactive to develop future games in the series.
