Space strategy add-on set for the summer

Sierra Studios, Relic Entertainment and Barking Dog Studios have unveiled a new chapter in their award-winning Homeworld series at the Milia trade show in Cannes, France. Homeworld: Cataclysm extends the Homeworld universe with entirely new fleets of fully-upgradeable ships, new research, fog-of-war, interface enhancements, mothership modules, damage control and waypoints.

Homeworld: Cataclysm continues the story from the original game and introduces a new threat from a "techno-organic entity known as The Beast". The add-on will provide 17 new single-player missions and an improved multiplayer mode, allowing for some eight-player action via WON.net.

Homeworld: Cataclysm is scheduled for a summer 2000 release.
