RTS threequelHomeworld 3has been delayed to February 2024, flying away from its previous “first half of 2023” release window. The developers say they need more time to live up to the series’ standards, presumably with more epic spacefleet shootouts. For those missing the series’ galactic megastructures, the devs havepromisedto share their biggest “progress update” yet later this summer. Possibly at one of this year’s NotE3 showcases.

Thestrategy gamewas originally supposed to launch in late 2022, beforeslipping into 2023, and now falling into 2024. What we’ve seen of the game’smegastructures, space battles, and techno ruinsso far has been very cool, though, so more power to ‘em.
Blackbird Interactive recently released the excellent ship-salvagingspace gameHardspace: Shipbreaker, which Liam gave a stamp of approval to in ourBestest Best reviewwhen it came out of early access last year.
Hopefully, Homeworld 3 can hit those same highs when it launches next February. The team say the game is a standalone story in the melancholy universe, only this time on a larger scale from what we’ve seen in the other Homeworld games. For now, you can wishlist it onSteam.
