According to the team, “prioritizing single-player has always been the case for Homeworld development” and that the main elements of the game will be “exploration, redemption, and exodus.” When she does finally open her eyes the narration kicks back in to say it hasn’t been so long, or long enough, before the Homeworld 3 logo appears.īased on that, almost nothing about the story could really be gained, however, other sources have pulled a few hints and bits about what the team wants to do with the narrative portion of the game.

The Game Awards finally showed us the first look at what gameplay in Homeworld 3 will look like, plus some CGI scenes as well that set the tone.
#HOMEWORLD 3 NEWS PC#
Thankfully we don’t have to worry about the complexity of this series being compromised to work on a console since it is confirmed that Homeworld 3 will be PC exclusive and hit both Steam and the Epic Games store when it launches. RTS games have dabbled in the console space, and only recently have there been a few that are just okay on a controller, but the PC is Homeworld 3‘s true home.

Based on what we’ve seen, and how long this game has supposedly been in development, we can reasonably guess that it will hit that date, but it is always possible for it to slip into the early days of 2023, which would put it a full two decades since Homeworld 2. The most recent trailer ends with the release window listed as some time in Q4 of 2022. The specific date for Homeworld 3 isn’t set just yet, but developer Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox have given themselves a good window of time to get the game out. Everything we know about Dune: Spice Wars.Some areas are still covered in the fog of war, but here’s everything we know so far about this RTS title. All that aside, Homeworld 3 is on track to take us back to the stars.
There was initially a crowdfunding effort to get the game made, which was successful, but things got a little complicated once Tencent purchased the publisher. Homeworld 3 falls into the latter category but is perhaps the one a dedicated section of the audience was most excited to see.

The focus on Karan is a little perplexing, but we'll apparently be learning more about the story soon enough: "We have got a lot more exciting details to share next year as we prepare for the launch of this massive next chapter," Cunningham said.
The opening dialog could use a little audio balancing but once the gameplay kicks in, it's on the money: Big, stylish, and majestically martial.
Without wanting to come off as overly superficial, I think it's important that any new Homeworld game looks and sounds the part too, and based on this trailer Homeworld 3 definitely does. Along with the singleplayer campaign, the game will also support a range of co-op and versus multiplayer modes, including 1v1, team battles, and free-for-alls.

Homeworld 3 will be a significant visual upgrade over the previous games, and will also introduce new ships, settings, and strategic options provided by fully simulated ballistics and "megaliths," the massive, crumbling space derelicts left behind by an ancient civilization, which can be used to create bottlenecks and deploy ambushes.
