#Homeworld 3 game awards series

But today, the series is owned by Gearbox, who bought it from the ruins of THQ. Some of Relic’s former folks founded the Homeworld 3 Blackbird studio, who also made the 2016 planetarium prequel, Deserts Of Kharak (and the excellent, though unrelated, spaceship dismantling sim, Hardspace. The game is set a generation after the original two, created by Relic Entertainment.

Along with the campaign, it will offer competitive multiplayer modes and co-op modes “with a human-like twist”. I especially like the different animations for small ships deploying from larger ships.īlackbird said: “Homeworld 3 is the realization of the vision we set out to create in the Homeworld franchise, with state-of-the-art technology allowing us to transcend our wildest dreams of air combat large-scale animation with emotional sci-fi storytelling” Interactive CEO Rob Cunningham, who served as the art director of Homeworld 1 and 2.Īs before, Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy game about leading a fleet of spaceships persistently through missions, carrying the scars (and absences) of past battles. The trailer also gives brief glimpses of the space battles raging through the ruins of derelict megastructures.

A new “gameplay” trailer popped up today during today’s Game Awards pre-show, and yes: the starships still leave nice engine trails behind them altogether. After 19 years, Homeworld 3 will arrive in 2022 to continue the sci-fi strategy series about leading a fleet of spaceships.
