Platform, Pre-order, and Story
At the time being, Homeworld 3 is a PC exclusive! Its availability on other latest-gen consoles remains a mystery. Following its launch, the game will become available on Steam and Epic Games.
There is only one version that’s available for pre-ordering. Head to Steam’s official website to add the game to your wishlist.

However, they are pursued by the Taiidan Empire, which is determined to destroy them. Moreover, the situation is dire, and Karan has slipped into ‘religious and mythic idolatry.’ Karan is a significant individual because he is said to be the only one who can actually save the galaxy from the terrors of unformidable forces.

Gameplay of Homeworld 3rd Part
Once again, it is all about real-time strategy in which you will command fleets of spaceships. In space, which has three dimensions, you can cleverly attack your enemies from unexpected angles, like from above or below. If you like direct fights, Homeworld 3 lets you do that and makes the battles look cool with cinematic camera views. Hence, the cinematic camera angles are about to become a game-changer.
Because of the game’s mechanics, attention has to be paid to your position in the galactic sector. The system works realistically. Hence, you will be good to go if you have a good grip on projectiles! Plus, your fleet stays with you throughout the game, so you should be careful and not get into fights without thinking or go near dangerous things in space, like storms and asteroid fields.
The multiplayer option that the 3rd part is bringing forth is one for history! The generic multiplayer mode will allow you to play with a human opponent. But it gets interesting when you pair up with another commander to face a series of randomized fleet combat challenges each time you play. The fleet you begin these missions with will be all you have. So, any bad judgments mid-playing will drastically affect your game.
This concludes our coverage of Homeworld 3. Rest assured, if more information surfaces in the near future, we will update this site. So, keep an eye out for further updates.
