He assured fans that the team had gone all out to develop the ultimate cinematic sci-fi strategy game that fans deserve. Cunningham noted that Blackbird Interactive was created to make this game and is excited to get it into the hands of sci-fi lovers and a new generation of PC gamers in March 2024.
Steve Gibson, President of Gearbox Publishing, also expressed his excitement for the upcoming release. He acknowledged the decades-long wait of the Homeworld community and emphasized their thrill in finally rewarding the players’ patience. Gibson expressed his gratitude to Blackbird Interactive for their incredible work and thanked the players for communicating and ultimately trusting them with Homeworld’s legacy.
Homeworld 3 is now available for pre-order on [Steam] and [Epic Games Store], offering various editions to choose from.
