Gearbox will release high-definition remakes of Relic Entertainment's real-time strategy series for Windows PC, the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2, the company announced at its PAX Australia panel today. The company will also release the original two titles to digital distribution platforms for Windows PC.

Gearbox bought the Homeworld IP for $1.35 million in April, following the approved sale of publisher THQ's games and studios for $72 million in January. At the time, Gearbox issued a statement saying that Brian Martel, Gearbox Software's chief creative officer, only had great love and respect for the Homeworld franchise and "personally spearheaded the acquisition." The company said that preserving the Homeworld games is Martel's highest priority and intends on making "them accessible on today's leading digital platforms."

Developer Paul Zakrzewski launched a Kickstarter campaign to develop a real-time strategy/space combat simulator inspired by the Homeworld series called Void Destroyer. The campaign was successfully funded in June and is currently on Steam Greenlight.

The Relic Entertainment-developed Homeworld was initially released for Windows PC in 1999. The sequel, Homeworld 2, launched for Windows PC in 2003

BOOYAKA!

if it ain't broke don't fix it!
 
I must admit that I had an OMG! moment there.

Loved those games to bits. I still regret never playing cataclysm, but if the two main games were to come back, I'd be there.

HD remakes sound excellent and I'd definitely buy them. I wouldn't mind a graphical update, as long as it sticks to the same visual style as the originals.

I don't really have anything against Gearbox doing it, I think, but if they fuck it up.... :mad:
 
I wonder if they will keep the difficulty levels as high?
I remember getting horribly stuck in Homeworld 2.
