“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.
Just before the latest trailer hit, the last quote that mentions the story came from CEO of Blackbird, Rob Cunningham, in several interviews with IGN. 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. 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.
“Our team has been hard at work creating the Homeworld experience we’ve always dreamed of and we hope after watching this trailer, fans will believe we are making THEIR game. We also get a comment from Rob Cunningham, CEO of Blackbird Interactive and original art director on Homeworld and Homeworld 2. In addition to the campaign, Homeworld 3 also features a robust multiplayer experience as well as the new cooperative roguelike mode which fuses Homeworld’s strategic gameplay with roguelike challenge and progression.” Now Imogen S’Jet, Karan’s successor, is the only one who holds the key to solving the mystery threatening the galaxy’s future. A new threat to the galaxy known as The Anomaly has started to spread its darkness and has begun to swallow gates and planets alike. “Homeworld 3’s campaign explores an all-new story in the Homeworld series that takes place long after the golden age of galactic trade and exploration was unlocked by Karan S’Jet upon the discovery of an ancient hyperspace gate network. Below you can read an official description of the story.
