Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy game developed by Blackbird Interactive, released in 2024 for PC. Set in a fully three-dimensional space environment, it places players in command of a fleet navigating large-scale galactic conflict. The campaign continues the series' story following the events of Homeworld 2, centering on the catastrophic failure of the Hyperspace Gate Network and the figure of Karan, now a near-mythological presence whose role holds the key to the galaxy's survival. Gameplay emphasizes positional tactics made possible by massive derelict structures called megaliths, which introduce cover, chokepoints, and flanking opportunities into space combat. Fully simulated ballistics make line of sight a meaningful factor. Fleet composition and damage persist across missions. Beyond the campaign, a three-player cooperative mode blends RTS mechanics with roguelike structure, while competitive multiplayer supports various formats. Mod support is available through an integrated Unreal editor and in-game mod.io browser.
Strategic freedom is yours. Hulking space derelicts called megaliths bring 3D terrain into the classic Homeworld battlespace. Use the crumbling remains of an ancient civilization to funnel foes into a brilliant ambush or hide your fleet from powerful enemies. Fortresses teem with menacing turrets and invite your strike craft into dangerous trench runs deep behind enemy lines. But not everything is in your control. Dangerous space phenomena like particle storms and asteroid fields will test even senior commanders.
