Homeworld 3 won't be released in February 2024 due to another delay. The game was originally targeting a Q4 2022 launch before being moved to the first half of 2023 and then again to early 2024. The good news is that the latest delay is a very small one, as the long-anticipated sci-fi strategy game will be released on March 8.
Rob Cunningham, CEO of Blackbird Interactive, said:
Homeworld 3 is a game 20+ years in the making. The team has gone all out to develop the ultimate cinematic sci-fi strategy game our very patient fans deserve. Blackbird Interactive was born to create this game, and we can’t wait to get it in the hands of sci-fi lovers and a whole new generation of PC gamers in March of 2024.
Steve Gibson, President of Gearbox Publishing, added:
The Homeworld community has waited actual decades for this launch. We’re thrilled that their wait will finally be rewarded this March, as players will be able to command the Mothership and continue their adventures. We’re grateful to BBI for their incredible work and to the players for communicating with us and ultimately trusting us with Homeworld’s legacy. Hopefully, they feel that we’ve done it proper justice.
