The Warzone 2100 game engine was originally released on a game developer's website. The developer went bankrupt and the source code was lost. In 2006, the assets were purchased by a small indie developer, who rewrote the source code from the ground up using the GPL license. The project was eventually released as Warzone 2100: Independence in 2009.
On June 3, 2018, the game's former developer FTL Laboratories purchased the rights to Warzone 2100, and have announced plans to re-release it. However, due to legal issues with the GPL license, an early access version of the game will be released on Steam for the Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems before the full release. On August 22, 2018, the game was released on Steam Early Access.
