#HOMEWORLD 3 GAME AWARDS SERIES#

We've long called Homeworld one of the best space games, and Alec Meer (RPS in peace) enjoyed revisiting the original two for our Homeworld Remastered Collection review. It'll be on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Homeworld 3 is due to launch round the end of 2022, somewhere from October onwards.

But these days the series is owned by Gearbox, who bought it from the wreckage of THQ. A number of former Relic people founded Homeworld 3 studio Blackbird, who also made the 2016 planetbound prequel, Deserts Of Kharak (and the excellent, though unrelated, spaceship-dismantling sim Hardspace: Shipbreaker). The game is set generations after the original two, which were created by Relic Entertainment. Along with the campaign, it'll offer competitive multiplayer modes and a co-op mode 'with a roguelike twist'.

'Homeworld 3 is the realization of the vision of what we set out to create in the Homeworld series, with modern technology allowing us to push beyond our wildest dreams of large-scale dynamic space combat packed with emotional sci-fi storytelling,' said Blackbird Interactive CEO Rob Cunningham, who was art director on Homeworld 1 and 2.Īs before, Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy game about leading a fleet of spaceships who persist across missions, carrying the scars (and absences) of past battles. I particularly like the various animations for wee ships deploying from larger ones.
