Los Angeles, CA (September 2, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games (VU
Games) announced today that, in conjunction with Relic Entertainment, it will
release a sneak-peak to Homeworld 2 tomorrow.
From VU Games:
The demo will include looks at both the single- and multi-player campaigns of
Homeworld 2, including the tutorial mission, two single-player missions, and two
multiplayer missions, which will be playable over both LAN and the GameSpy
network.
"We recognize that our community's support of Homeworld 2 is both incredibly
valuable and vital to the success of this game," said Chris Mahnken, producer of
Homeworld 2. "The community has been requesting a demo of the game for many
months now, and we are proud to be able to deliver it to them."
The 141 MB Homeworld 2 demo will be released via the VU Games website
tomorrow. The company will also make the demo available to all press and
community sites that wish to host it.
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.
Developed by Relic Entertainment, Homeworld 2 features a brand new game
engine capable of creating startling space effects like dust gas clouds, wispy
nebulae, and ghostly derelict hulks of space ships rendered with spectacular
Hollywood-style special effects. Homeworld 2 is also packaged with tools for
players to easily create custom content, including multiplayer maps.
Homeworld 2 is being developed for the PC for a suggested retail price of
$49.99 with a "Teen" rating by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. For more
