On Feb. 5, developers Blackbird Interactive released a public demo for Homeworld 3<\/em><\/a> on Steam<\/a> and the Epic Games Store<\/a>, showcasing its roguelike War Games mode. While we enjoyed the vertical slice of the game, it still presented a number of issues<\/a> that left us questioning whether Blackbird Interactive would have time to resolve them before launch.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, in a clear commitment to delivering the best possible version of the latest installment in the legendary sci-fi RTS franchise, Blackbird Interactive has made the decision to delay the launch of Homeworld 3<\/em> to May 13. That\u2019s roughly an additional four weeks out from the previous launch date of Mar. 8. <\/p>\n

According to the statement issued by Blackbird Interactive<\/a>, the decision to postpone the launch was made in response to feedback from external playtesting in addition to the reception of its public demo.<\/p>\n

It’s certainly frustrating to see Homeworld 3<\/em> suffer another delay, especially considering it was initially slated to launch in the first half of 2023. However, as a long-standing fan of the Homeworld<\/em> franchise, I\u2019m glad that the developers are taking the necessary steps to address these issues. <\/p>\n
