Homeworld 3 was originally due to be released between October and December 2022, but the delay now means it will be released at some point during the first half of 2023. The delay is so the developers can complete the game without having to compromise with crunch. The good news is that it shouldn’t be much longer until there’s more information on the game. Homeworld 3 will be getting its “deepest look yet” at Gamescom in August, and Blackbird Interactive promises we’ll hear from them more often as the game approaches its new release date.
