“Homeworld 3is 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.
