Homeworld 2, the sequel to one of 1999’s highly acclaimed real-time strategy games, returns players to the helm of the most powerful space armada in the universe as they battle to keep their home. The highly-anticipated follow up title includes multiplayer competition for up to six players, in addition to an engrossing single-player saga.

We’re proud to offer this game as a continuation of the esteemed Homeworld franchise.”
