A sequel to this game, titled "Renegade II: Return to Jacob's Star", was near enough to completion to be reviewed in professional gaming magazines, but was never released. "Next Generation" reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "In its defense, "Renegade 2" has succeeded in cutting down load times, and the high-res graphics are gorgeous without the need for the kind of horsepower required for Origin's latest, "Wing Commander IV". Still, none of this is enough to keep "Renegade 2" from being anything but a mediocre game at best."
