Development of Homeworld 3 Looks Promising. We Also Learned PC Requirements of This Space Strategy

We are just under a month away from the debut of Homeworld 3, a space RTS from Blackbird Interactive studio. The developers decided it was a good time to lift the veil of secrecy regarding the game's development plans after the premiere.

Development plans for Homeworld 3

The first year of the game promises to be rich in this respect. The plans consist of paid expansions that enhance the cooperative multiplayer mode War Games, as well as free updates with new content.

All three paid DLCs will be included in the season pass for the first year. You will be able to buy it on Steam as a whole, as well as purchase each DLC individually.

1. models of Khar-Kushan Mothership, Hiigaran Destroyer, and Hiigaran Torpedo Frigate,
2. a collection of cards for identifying ships, based on those from World War II,
3. keychain with the Homeworld 3 logo,
4. code to unlock the game on Steam (there will be no game disc in the box),
5. code with a Year 1 Season Pass,
6. digital soundtrack,
7. unique cosmetic items for use in multiplayer,
8. possibility to start playing three days before the official game release.
