The epic struggle of the Hiigarans and their leader Karan S'jet continues. Many thought their hardships would end when they returned to Hiigara, yet fate has not been so kind to the Exiles. Now the Hiigarans face a new and bitter enemy, a renegade clan from the eastern fringes of the galaxy, who wield the power of the ancients.

Homeworld 2 chronicles the valiant journey of the Mothership and its crew into the oldest regions of the galaxy to confront their new foe and discover the truth behind their exile.

In the video, we can see how players will be able to customize their own ships using assembly modules, build stations, warships, bases, and even cities in space. The game features three predefined ship classes (fighters, machine guns, and warships), but players can also build huge modular warships independently from the main base.

The video also shows the game's research system, which allows players to upgrade their fleet and individual ships up to five levels. An innovative system also allows players to evolve by collecting space debris from the destroyed ships of other players. This debris is unique and players must destroy enemy ships to obtain certain technologies.

The game also features three types of resources: carbon asteroids (common), metallic asteroids (rare and capacious), and siliceous asteroids (very rare and very capacious). Players must manage the collection and storage of resources and, in the later stages of the game, will have access to advanced mining technologies.

The player's fleet and base can expand freely, but players must be careful about their needs. An evolved base requires a large population and players will need to expand crew quarters. Weapons, shields, and modules require energy and players will need to build reactors to power them.

The command center can transmit energy to surrounding structures and can also build independent deployers that can in turn develop independent command units such as outposts, stations, and warships.

An armor system allows players to make their base and ships more resistant. Each ship or module can be damaged and, if destroyed, generates recoverable wrecks.

The video also shows direct ship piloting and the different game modes, ranging from frenetic matches to epic battles on huge maps.

Era One will be released in early access on Steam in September 2024 and will continue to be developed in the future.

Have a nice vision, I attach the changelog for Build 4, for those who want to check the development progress.

Could someone please upload their copy of the Neu_Transport.rar that sanityflare fixed by porting the Hiigaran prison transport model from HW1 and using the updated textures from the neu_transport.hod so it could be loaded in HW2? The File.sc link is dead.

Thanks.

It will be cool to be able to try out that version of the HW1 prison ship in HW2. :)
