Homeworld 3: release date window, trailer, pre-order, and more

digitaltrends.com:

The long, long wait for a new Homeworld title is finally coming to a close. This classic RTS series once stood toe-to-toe with the titans of the genre such as StarCraft and Command and Conquer, but aside from a more recent prequel, it hasn’t been seen since the sequel in 2003.

At the same time, the entire RTS genre has fallen from the grace it once enjoyed, with almost none of the major names existing in that space anymore. However, we did get hints at a proper Homeworld sequel coming in the future after Gearbox purchased the rights and released the Homeworld Remastered Collection, a prequel game called Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and even a tabletop version of the game. Here’s everything we know so far about this RTS title.

Release date

Homeworld 3 is set to release on May 13, 2024.

• GTA 6: release date speculation, trailer, gameplay, and more
• Star Wars Outlaws: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
• Marvel Rivals: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

Platforms

RTS games have dabbled in the console space, and only recently have there been a few that are just okay on a controller, but the PC is Homeworld 3‘s true home. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about the complexity of this series being compromised to work on a console since it is confirmed that Homeworld 3 will be PC exclusive and hit both Steam and the Epic Games store when it launches.

Trailer

The Game Awards finally showed us the first look at what gameplay in Homeworld 3 will look like, plus some CGI scenes as well that set the tone.

We open with some narration about the Khar-Toba, Guidestone, Diamond Shoals, and other deep Homeworld lore as beautiful images of planets, asteroids, and galaxies are shown. Eventually we are treated to some ships soaring across various locations in and out of planetary orbit. Intercut with these establishing shots are flashes of a woman in some sort of tube filled with fluid and connected via large cables. For those unfamiliar, or who may
