Homeworld 3, the highly anticipated 3D real-time strategy game from Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox Publishing, is facing yet another delay in its planned release date. The game was slated for premiere in 2022, but it has been delayed several times. The most recent statement states that a new release date of May has been set.
Its original release date was moved back to the first half of 2023, then to February 2024, and finally to March. Gamers will now need to be a little more patient as the official worldwide launch date is May 13, with advanced access beginning on May 10.
This latest delay comes with the launch of a temporary preview on Steam and the Epic Games Store, in addition to outside playtests. Blackbird and Gearbox expressed their respect for the involvement of the community by mentioning the helpful feedback they got throughout the playtests and the exciting but disturbing experience of seeing the game played in huge numbers.
The companies promised in a joint statement to provide a superior gaming experience through the use of feedback and insights from outside playtesting. They thanked the community for their patience and gave players confidence that the additional time would be used to make the last-minute adjustments so that the product would live up to the high expectations of the fans.
In honour of the franchise's 20th anniversary, Homeworld 3 was revealed at PAX West in August 2019. It takes place in space several generations after the events of Homeworld 2, which came out in 2003.
Highlighted was Blackbird Interactive's most recent project, Minecraft Legends, which was co-developed with Microsoft's Mojang Studios, as the gaming community excitedly awaits the game's arrival. The multiplatform action-strategy game Minecraft Legends will continue to get support for the foreseeable future, even though Mojang has announced that the game's development will be discontinued.
The community can expect further updates on Homeworld 3's development in the upcoming months, as the developers' commitment to creating a refined and immersive gaming experience is shown by the game's extended production time frame.
