Homeworld 3will launch on March 8th 2024, completing a development journey that began with crowdfundingback in 2019. To give some insight into that journey, developers Blackbird are going to release a documentary this December, a clip from which you’ll find below.

There’s plenty that looks great in the video above: hulking great space monoliths, tactical pause, battleships that maintain their damage scars throughout the campaign… And then a developer will call it a “love letter to fans of the franchise” and I remember, yeah, this is marketing and not a real documentary, isn’t it.
Nevertheless, I’m pumped forHomeworld 3. The previous games are beloved for being fun strategy games with stylish spaceships and an atmospheric setting and story, and much of that seems to be present in the trailers released so far for the sequel. I’m also curious about its new cooperative mode, War Games, which apparently like roguelike elements.
This is the first time Homeworld 3 has had a specific day for a release date, but it has been delayed several times already,into the first half of 2023and thento February 2024. Hopefully this time it sticks and I get to play with cool spaceships in March.
