A specific new release date has been set for space strategy game Homeworld 3 from developer Blackbird Interactive. Previously, the game was scheduled to be released in February 2024, but the release has now been postponed to March 8, 2024.

In addition to revealing the release date Video shared by Blackbird, which offers a look behind the scenes. Blackbird CEO and co-founder Rob Cunningham notes that the studio “had to wait twenty years to achieve the scale and scope needed in the game.” “That’s what we wanted to achieve on Homeworld 2, but the technology at the time didn’t allow for it,” says Cunningham, who worked on Homeworld 2 at Relic Entertainment. This game was released in 2003.

Moreover, Blackbird shows some functions in the video. This allows players to choose between controls from previous Homeworld games or those that are similar to other controls rts-games. The player only has to click on an item in the environment to get there.

Homeworld 3 was initially scheduled to release for PC in the first half of 2023, but the release has been postponed several times since then. The developer felt that he needed additional time to improve the quality of the game.
