Team Pixel, an independent studio, is looking to acquire the Homeworld license.
Through a campaign via Indiegogo, the studio states the following:
”The THQ bankruptcy has given all of us a massive opportunity to put Homeworld back in the hands of gamers. We believe that the Homeworld franchise should be respected as one of the major landmarks in sci-fi and RTS gaming. To us, this means preserving access to the game for fans, both old and new.”
The studio is looking into purchasing the IP, but the question remains if it’s actually possible as THQ‘s rights to the game was sold off to SEGA. Or were they? According to themselves, individual assets will be sold off at a later date. The studio is asking for at least $50,000 in order to purchase the license, the question is if it will be enough. At press time there’s 13 days left of the campaign, and an amount of $3,498 has been collected.
