Here's the official description: "Cycles of plenty and war have come and gone. We don't know anything about what will happen in Homeworld 3 other than that a lot of time has passed. So what's the story of Homeworld 3?Īfter Homeworld 2, the galaxy entered what was called the "age of S'jet," as Karan's clan used the newly-opened hyperspace gate network to usher in an age of prosperity. It's a new design, a sort of flat croissant rather than the huge upright banana of past motherships in the series-and a nice design callback to the carriers from Deserts of Kharak. That's probably our new Mothership, with its signature massive launch bay for producing capital ships. Throughout we get glimpses of a huge ship over and over: A crescent-shaped flat vessel. There's also a brief flash of some ships in red, the primary color of the Vaygr antagonists from Homeworld 2.


We also get a few distant glimpses of angular ships in the signature yellow and red stripes of their Taiidan enemies. From there, we see a barrage of ships in the flat, boxy styles and colors of our Hiigaran protagonists. We're shown a sprawl of events from the first two games, from the destruction of Kharak and the Kushan flight through the galaxy to the war with the Vaygr horde from Homeworld 2. As we understand it, she's also now going to live for a very, very long time. She's a posthuman of some kind, called an Unbound, due to her physical connection with the Hyperspace core that powered the mothership.

The trailer's narrator is Karan S'jet, the main character from original Homeworld games and the voice of The Mothership and Fleet Command. This Homeworld 3 gameplay trailer gave me goosebumps But in the time of Covid-driven development delays, nothing is ever out of the question. Will Homeworld 3 get delayed? At this point, probably not: Blackbird Interactive has ample resources behind it now that Gearbox is part of the Embracer Group. It's doubtful that Gearbox will pick early November due to release date competition with Starfield, but it's not unheard of for big games of different genres to release at the same time. Realistically, that probably means you'll see it in November or early December of this year. Homeworld 3 will be released in the fourth quarter of 2022.
HOMEWORLD 3 LEAK SERIES
It's not only a terrific RTS that sets itself apart from the rest of the genre's recent games, but it's also an excellent Homeworld game that reinvents the series while also recapturing its magic." What is Homeworld 3's release date? Prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak was developed by Blackbird Interactive and released just a year later in 2016 to great acclaim.īlackbird interactive is also developing Homeworld 3, and the conclusion to our Deserts of Kharak review should give you a good indication of why we're excited about this sequel: "In spite of all the ways this could have gone horribly wrong, Deserts of Kharak succeeds on almost every count. Those games got remastered in 2015 by Gearbox, to mixed reception. Enemies were always dogging your heels and the expansive ambient soundtrack left you feeling lost in a galaxy much larger than your own problems.ĭeveloper Relic Entertainment released Homeworld in 1999, with an expansion in 2000 and then sequel Homeworld 2 in 2003. The galaxy felt empty, lonely, and oppressive. Perhaps most notable, however, was Homeworld's atmosphere. Maneuvering not just around but above and below your opponents was key to victory in Homeworld. The first RTS to take place in a fully three-dimensional environment, Homeworld was a revelation in 1999 because its setting was authentically space, rather than a 2D plane. Homeworld 3 is the sequel to one of the most celebrated series in real-time strategy history.
