Its sequel, Homeworld 2, launched in 2003, and was similarly praised by critics for its innovative controls and changes to multiplayer.

WorldShift does away with traditional technology trees, instead offering gamers a variety of items and relics that allow for on-the-fly alterations of each playable race. All three factions are vying for the precious resource Xenolite, and the single-player campaign takes players through an 18-mission campaign that unravels the secrets of Shard Zero and the plague it unleashed. WorldShift is set thousands of years later, when all of humanity resides in five mega-cities, plague-addled mutants roam the wilderness, and hostile aliens have invaded. In the 21st century a giant, plague-carrying asteroid dubbed "Shard Zero" crashed into Earth, decimating the planet. WorldShift combines traditional real-time strategy gameplay with RPG-style multiplayer boss raids as gamers controls one of three factions in a desperate struggle to take control of Earth's dwindling resources.
