Homeworld 3 is the latest chapter in the epic saga which has so far spanned four games: Homeworld (1999), Homeworld: Cataclysm (2000), Homeworld 2 (2003) and Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (2016), as well as a recent, upgraded reissue of the older games. The previous games in the series charted the fate of the Kushan people, apparently natives of the desert planet Kharak who discover that they in fact originated from far across the galaxy. After an epic voyage home, battling the Taiidani Empire along the way, they reclaimed their homeworld, Hiigara. Later games chartered huge struggles against renewed threats to their safety.
The new game picks up some decades after the events of Homeworld 2. Karan S'Jet, the cybernetically-enhanced sentient core of the Mothership, has opened the Eye of Arran, activating a vast network of hidden hyperspace gates which have greatly bolstered interstellar trade and leading to a renewed golden age. However, the gates are now failing and an unknown enemy has asserted itself. Once again, S'Jet must lead an expedition to locate the source of this threat and neutralise it.
Homeworld 3, as with the previous games, will see players guiding a persistent fleet across a fictional galaxy, transferring resources between missions. This game adds a tweak in the form of "megaliths," effectively space terrain in the form of moons, vast space hulks and asteroids, with your ships capable of using this terrain as cover in combat. The game will also feature nebula and ion storms, as well as a return for the original game's occasional asteroid belts.
Homeworld 3 is currently scheduled for release on PC at the end of 2022.
