Homeworld 3 was finally available to play thanks to the War Games demo available as part of this week's Steam Next Fest. However, the feedback from the demo has apparently pushed developer Blackbird Interactive and publisher Gearbox to delay the game once more.
We hope you all have been enjoying your first-time going hands-on with Homeworld 3 during our public demo of War Games.
Watching you share your experiences, exchange and debate strategies, and give us constant feedback has been incredible. This was our first time seeing the game played at scale, which is always an equally thrilling and nerve-wracking moment.
We also recently gathered a dedicated group of players from outside our organizations to play through the full game. This resulted in additional insights and perspective that will be incorporated to make Homeworld 3 the best experience possible.
After careful analysis of feedback, we made the decision to delay the global launch of Homeworld 3 until May 13, with advanced access set for May 10, to ensure that we’re making the final tweaks needed to deliver at the level of quality that we strive for and you deserve.
Homeworld 3 was first announced in August 2019 for a target Q4 2022 release window. The game received its first delay in June 2022, when Blackbird moved the release window to the first half of 2023. In May 2023, the game was once again postponed to February 2024. Yet another delay was announced last November, moving the game's release date to March 8, 2024.
Homeworld 3 will support advanced features like ray tracing, High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays, NVIDIA DLSS 2 (Super Resolution) and 3 (Frame Generation), and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2. You can read the full system specifications for the various available presets (MINIMUM, RECOMMENDED, HIGH, ULTRA, RT LOW, RT HIGH, RT ULTRA here).
