Up until September 2007 it was unlikely that the Homeworld series would have another sequel, as Vivendi, the copyright holder of Homeworld and a rival of THQ, the owner of Relic Entertainment, owned the rights to the intellectual property.

In September 2007 the first rumors about a transfer of the rights to the Homeworld IP popped up. PC Gamer and Game Informer, a renowned US gaming magazines, claimed that the licence had been sold to THQ. Soon after that, the following Wikipedia article popped up, as well as news items all over the Internet.

In November THQ had confirmed in Eurogamer that THQ indeed now owns the rights to the Homeworld IP.
"THQ currently owns Relic, which in turn means that we now have the rights to the Homeworld brand, however, at this time we have no comment on any future games from THQ based on Homeworld."
— Eurogamer spokesperson

August 2008 brought few interesting words from Jonathan Dowdeswell asked by GameStar.de if continuation of homeworld series will appear:
"You can not believe how often I hear this question, in any case we would love to develop Homeworld 3!"
— Jonathan Dowdeswell, Relic Executive Producer

In November some more news came. Joystiq asked Jonny Ebbert, lead designer of Dawn of War II about Homeworld 3. He told that there's always a chance that the game is developed as well as that he is very very very excited about the idea of revealing it to the world.
"We're really happy the IP has made its way home, and yeah, we're definitely looking at it."
— Jonny Ebbert about Homeworld 3

Another reason for speculations for a possible Homeworld 3 was Eurogamer visit in Relic studios published 24th November. In short: Relic has 3 or 4 dev teams working on different projects, we know about two teams: The Dawn of War II and CoH addon one. Also Relic confirmed nor denied the work on Homeworld 3 in fact employees are making indirectly allusions about Hw3.

Ebbert added: "Homeworld's always been dear to our heart; it's what put us on the map, it was our first product, and I think it will always have a special place in our hearts."
