After almost twenty years since the previous game in the series, Homeworld 3 is about to arrive. However, fans will have to wait a little longer for this new installment, as the developers have announced a delay in the release of the game.
home world 3 is the latest installment in the classic Homeworld space strategy game series, developed by Blackbird Interactive and published by Gearbox. Blackbird Interactive previously developed a prequel to the original series, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak.
In a short post, Blackbird Interactive acknowledges the importance of making home world 3 to the best of its ability, citing the company’s commitment to healthy and sustainable development as a reason for the delay. The new launch is planned for the first half of 2023so it’s not much of a change, as the original Homeworld 3 gameplay reveal pegged the release window for Q4 2022.
However, the extra time will allow for further polishing of the game, hopefully without throwing the developers into crisis periods or other unhealthy practices. However, Homeworld fans have something to look forward to soon; The ad also mentions that home world 3 will be present at Gamescom 2022, with the “deepest look yet” at the game.
The Homeworld 3 gameplay trailer already showed off a lot, but it was mainly a look at some of the environments and the focus on movement around structures; neither the user interface nor the control methods of the units were displayed. Hopefully Gamescom will provide more details on how the game actually plays.
