List of Relic Entertainment games

Relic Entertainment is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver and founded in June 1997 by Alex Garden and Luke Moloney.[1] After its debut title Homeworld (1999), the company developed two more games, Impossible Creatures (2003) and Homeworld 2 (2003), and signed a contract with publisher THQ for an additional two games.[2] Before either game was released, however, Relic was bought by THQ in May 2004 for US$10.2 million in cash;[3] the company was renamed THQ Canada, with "Relic Entertainment" used as a marketing brand by the studio.[4] THQ published the next five games by the company. A few months after being purchased, Relic released its first licensed title, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War (2004). It released two more original titles in 2006, The Outfit and Company of Heroes, before transitioning to focus on further titles and expansion packs in the Warhammer 40,000 and Company of Heroes franchises.

In December 2012, THQ declared bankruptcy and began selling off its properties and subsidiary companies; THQ Canada was auctioned to Sega in January 2013, for US$26.6 million, along with the rights to the Company of Heroes franchise.[5][6][7] The studio was then renamed back to Relic Entertainment.[6][8] Since joining Sega, Relic has released one more title in the Warhammer franchise and two more titles in the Company of Heroes franchise, all published by Sega, as well as Age of Empires IV.
