![]() ![]() 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. For those unfamiliar, or who may have forgotten, that is the series’ main character Karan S’jet.Īs the ship action begins to intensify, giving us cinematic looks at what the battles will be, Karen begins waking up. Intercut with these establishing shots are flashes of a woman in some sort of tube filled with fluid and connected via large cables. Eventually we are treated to some ships soaring across various locations in and out of planetary orbit. We open with some narration about the Khar-Toba, Guidestone, Diamond Shoals, and other deep Homeworld lore as beautiful images of planets, asteroids, and galaxies are shown. 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. 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.

The remastered collection will feature both the original or 'classic' versions of the games as well as the new versions. More news about Shipbreakers is expected to be released after the remastered games are out. Homeworld: Shipbreakers will be based around ground combat and strategy as competing factions on the planet Kharak fight for resources. More excitingly, Blackbird are also working on a full prequel to the games. Blackbird have been assisting Gearbox in their remastering of the two games, by tracking source files and original audio and graphical assets. He was joined by many veterans of the two Homeworld games. Cunningham left Relic in 2007 to set up his own studio, Blackbird Interactive. Homeworld and Homeworld 2 were made by Relic Entertainment, by a team led by Rob Cunningham. Unfortunately, Cataclysm is not included in this release due the source files being missing and the rights to the game being in question. Released between the two was Homeworld: Cataclysm, a stand-alone expansion which is sometimes regarded, in at least gameplay terms, as the high point of the series. Its sequel, Homeworld 2, was released in 2003 and added some vastly more advanced graphics and a more comprehensive user interface. Originally released by Relic Entertainment in 1999, Homeworld was lauded for its highly atmospheric soundtrack, cool visuals, the first fully successful depiction of 3D space in a strategy game and its compelling storyline. ![]()
