- The next Homeworld 3 update will be the last, as dev moves on from faltering RTS - 19 November 2024
The next Homeworld 3 update, which overhauls combat and the pace of the campaign in the space RTS game, will also be the last, as developer Blackbird says it is time to "close this chapter." Originally released in May, Homeworld 3 revives the beloved strategy series, which once ranked alongside Total Annihilation and Command and Conquer as one of the best on PC. Currently, however, the game has 'mostly negative' reviews on Steam and an average concurrent player base of less than 50. Nevertheless, the upcoming 1.3 version will represent Homeworld 3's "last major content update." Read the rest of the story...

- Struggling RTS Homeworld 3 ditches roadmap, crams it into one update - 21 September 2024
Two decades is a long time to wait for something, especially if it doesn't live up to expectations. As each day, week, month, and year passes your assumptions shift, and it can be hard for whatever you were waiting for to be as life-changing as you hoped. Earlier in 2024 Homeworld 3 finally came out after 21 years, and it's safe to say it wasn't the game we space RTS fans were expecting. The post-launch roadmap still awaits, but now we're going to be getting everything at once, instead of it running into 2025. Read the rest of the story...

- An Update to Homeworld 3's Roadmap - 20 September 2024
What’s Next for Homeworld 3? Thanks to everyone who joined us for update 1.2 and the Kalan Raiders Fleet Pack. We want to take a moment to provide an update on what's next as we look ahead to the rest of the updates initially revealed in our Year One DLC Roadmap. An Updated Roadmap: Following the release of update 1.2, we made the decision to combine all remaining paid DLC and free content drops in the roadmap into one unified delivery in November. Combining the content into one beat will allow us to focus all our resources and provide you all with a higher-quality experience. This change means that, come November, we’ll be releasing two content packs that were originally scheduled for 2025 with the objective of delivering the most complete Homeworld 3 experience, and many of your requested changes, sooner. In total, you can look forward to three (3) free updates and two (2) paid DLCs w…
- Hotfix Update 1.21 - 16 August 2024
We just released a hotfix for Homeworld 3. This hotfix reduces friction caused by the “mod mismatch” error when joining multiplayer lobbies. In an effort to avoid multiplayer match desyncs caused by mismatched mods between players, this pop-up was added. This hotfix changes the behavior of that mod mismatch verification to only affect modded skirmish maps selected in the lobby. Players will still see the error upon trying to join a lobby where the map selected is a modded map that they do not have installed. They will also see the error when the lobby host changes the map selection to a map that the client does not have installed. Manually installed mods (in the pak folder) are no longer detected by this system and so multiplayer match desyncs might still happen due to mods creating an imbalance, but now you will be able to enter lobbies and discuss with other players if needed.
- Kalan Raiders DLC and Patch 1.2 Notes - 15 August 2024
Hello, Commanders! Today we are releasing Update 1.2 for Homeworld 3. This update includes a host of gameplay improvements and bug fixes — some of which are a result of invaluable community feedback.

Update 1.2 also introduces two, entirely new Skirmish maps for all players. This patch also includes support for the Kalan Raiders Fleet Pack DLC for War Games, available for individual purchase or for those who purchased the Year One Pass. This DLC introduces two new fleets, a variety of new ships, new challenges, artifacts, and a new skin. We’re eternally grateful for players who have left us respectful, thoughtful feedback in the months since launch. Our work to respond to that feed…

- Hotfix Update 1.11 - 17 June 2024
Hello Commanders, Today we are releasing a hotfix (1.11) for Homeworld 3 that addresses some issues that we’ve seen reported by players, including several small issues relating to War Games. We’ve also added a toggle to enable an experimental camera mode that collides with level geometry and ships. We’ll continue to iterate on this new camera mode with the hope that it provides an intuitive way to manipulate the camera on maps with lots of terrain features. Hotfix update 1.11 addresses the following: Additional improvements to Homeworld 3’s Chinese localization (further improvements to Chinese localization will arrive in future updates) Added a menu option to toggle an experimental camera mode that causes it to collide with terrain and ships This new toggle will now allow players to enable camera collisions if they choose, with the default setting being turned to off (allowing the camer…

- Dev Update: The Journey Ahead - 28 May 2024
Hi everyone, Now that the dust has begun to settle, we’d like to share some details about Homeworld 3 and the journey ahead. We’ve been collecting and prioritizing your feedback about Homeworld 3’s gameplay. As always, thank you! Here are a few things we’re taking immediate action on and we will continue to update you on their progress. Additional work is in the planning stages, expect new updates in the coming months. Open maps & “claustrophobic” maps Though terrain is a major feature in Homeworld 3, we’ve heard that many of you miss the vast, empty maps of earlier Homeworld games. Some of you also feel that Homeworld 3’s maps can be too small or “claustrophobic.” We have already started work on our first new Skirmish map without large terrain — just open space. We’ll also look at other maps to make sure you can pull the camera out far enough and, if necessary, make further adjustments…
