About Homeworld 2

Homeworld 2 is a single player and multiplayer real-time strategy game with a science fiction theme. It was developed by Relic Entertainment and was released on September 16, 2003. It received mostly positive reviews from both critics and players.

Patches and an active modding community has helped keep Homeworld 2 popular until its re-release by Gearbox Software in 2015.
