Homeworld 3 Announced By Gearbox Software
It’s been a long time, but Gearbox Software’s acclaimed real-time space strategy series is finally getting a new installment. Homeworld 3 was announced by Gearbox during their PAX West panel this afternoon. The Homeworld series is renowned for its gigantic space battles, utilizing gigantic warships on a three-dimensional plane. It’s been almost twenty years since the first Homeworld, developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Sierra. The franchise has changed hands over the years; Gearbox picked it up from THQ in 2013. Rumors have persisted since then of another game, but Gearbox never confirmed them until now. The most recent action Homeworld has gotten is the prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak in 2016, but it was not a true sequel. Blackbird Interactive were the developers of Deserts of Kharak, and they’re also in charge of this one. Here’s the twist, however: Homeworld 3 will be partially crowdfunded. They’re doing it through Fig, which is a bit different from Kickstarter in that contributors have the opportunity to make an actual investment
