== Sequel == Approximately a year after the release of Homeworld 2, Relic Studios was purchased by THQ in August 2004 for approximately $10 million USD.<ref name="relic_purchase">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/homeworld/news.html?sid=6104636|title=THQ discloses Relic purchase price|author=Curt Feldman|publisher=[[GameSpot]]}}</ref><ref name="relic_purchase2">{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6094615.html|title=THQ to acquire Relic Entertainment|author=Justin Calvert|publisher=[[GameSpot]]}}</ref> As THQ was considered to be a competitor of [[Sierra Entertainment]] and [[Vivendi Universal]], the prospect of a Homeworld sequel remained unlikely as Sierra was still the owner of the Homeworld [[Intellectual Property|IP]] until September 2007 when it was announced that THQ was in talks with Vivendi to purchase the license Homeworld franchise.<ref name="wiki_hw3">{{cite web|url=http://homeworld.gamepedia.com/Homeworld_3|title=Homeworld 3|publisher=Encyclopedia Hiigara}}</ref> In November 2007, [[THQ]] finally confirmed that it had acquired the license for the Homeworld franchise but didn't confirm a sequel maintaining that it had no comments on future games from THQ based on Homeworld.<ref name="eg_confirm">{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=87018|title=THQ Does Own Homeworld|publisher=Eurogamer|author=Robert Purchese}}</ref> However, Eurogamer reported in November 2008 that Relic was "definitely looking" at creating Homeworld 3. "''[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II]]''" lead designer Jonny Ebbert commented that "We're really happy the IP has made its way home, and yeah, we're definitely looking at it. We'll see what happens in the future,".<ref name="eg_hw3">{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/relic-definitely-looking-at-homeworld-3|title=Relic "definitely looking" at Homeworld 3|author=Johnny Minkley|publisher=Eurogamer}}</ref> Ebbert also commented that there was always a chance that the sequel could be in development behind closed doors. The strongest evidence indicating that Homeworld 3 is in development came from Relic's General Manager, Tarnie Williams indicating that "three or four" titles were in development while declining to elaborate further.<ref name="eg_hw3"/>
