Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox Publishing said the release date for Homeworld 3 will be March 8, 2024, on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
The PC game is the latest installment in the sci-fi strategy series that first debuted with Relic Entertainment’s Homeworld in 1999.
Homeworld 3 is now open for preorders. I’ve played this game in preview mode a couple of times, and it’s fascinating what you can do with it. But I also believe you need to spend a lot of time with the tutorial and you need to remember how to handle the controls for maneuvering fleets in 3D space — in real time.
Players can now pre-order from an array of editions. Early access begins on March 5 for those opting for the Fleet Command or Collector’s Edition.
