Homeworld 3 delayed until May 13

Gearbox Publishing and developer Blackbird Interactive have announced today that the release date for Homeworld 3 has been postponed from its originally scheduled March 8 to May 13. According to the developer, the decision to delay the game was made in order to gain further insights and perspective, ensuring that Homeworld 3 delivers the best possible gaming experience.

Below is the official statement regarding the Homeworld 3 delayed announcement:

Hello, Commanders

We hope you all have been enjoying your first-time going hands-on with Homeworld 3 during our public demo of War Games.

Watching you share your experiences, exchange and debate strategies, and give us constant feedback has been incredible. This was our first time seeing the game played at scale, which is always an equally thrilling and nerve-wracking moment.

We also recently gathered a dedicated group of players from outside our organizations to play through the full game. This resulted in additional insights and perspective that will be incorporated to make Homeworld 3 the best experience possible.

After careful analysis of feedback, we made the decision to delay the global launch of Homeworld 3 until May 13, with advanced access set for May 10, to ensure that we’re making the final tweaks needed to deliver at the level of quality that we strive for and you deserve.

To say that you as a community of players have been waiting patiently for this next installment would be an understatement, and we are deeply appreciative of that. We will continue to keep you updated on our progress.

As always, you’re welcome to send your feedback via social channels, the Homeworld Universe discord, and through our support page.

Thank you all for playing, and we’ll talk again soon.

Homeworld 3 will be available on PC via Steam, and Epic Games Store for $59.99.
