Homeworld 3 is being funded via a Fig campaign, having reached over $1.5 million in funding. The game is being published by the Gearbox Publishing division. The Homeworld games are a series of real-time strategy (RTS) titles set in space, as players build a fleet to protect their mothership and engage enemy forces in battle.
Homeworld 3 is currently slated to launch at some point in the fourth quarter of 2022, though there’s no exact release date right now. It’s also worth noting that ongoing effects of the pandemic mean game development and release date timing are less certain now than ever before, so it won’t come as a surprise if it ends up needing more time being polished before launch.
If you want towatch The Game Awards 2021and catch the announcement live when it happens, you’ll need to tune in early via your platform of choice at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT. The announcement is happening at some point during the 30-minute “pre-show,” as opposed to the remainder of the show, which is being hosted by Geoff Keighley.
