HOMEWORLD 3 EXCLUSIVE SERIES
However, what makes Homeworld 3 different from other entries in the series can be summarized in one word: terrain.
This purchase meant that THQ became the new rightful owners of the Homeworld IP but, during this time, no further game in the series was made. To cut a long story short, in 2004, and so about a year following the release of the second Homeworld game in 2003, (what was then) THQ bought Relic Entertainment, the studio responsible for the first two titles. Now, about twenty years after that first game was released, Homeworld 3 is a hugely anticipated title that seeks to step on the giant shoulders of its predecessors and steer the franchise into a new direction.Īt gamescom 2022, my appointment with Homeworld 3 started with an elaborate presentation of the history and planned future of the entire franchise. As our reviewer of the 2015 Remastered Collection, Wayne Santos, put it, this was because few games like it operated in true 3D space – meaning you could place attacks on the Z-axis – and fewer still challenged you by carrying over units from battle to battle, both of these design characteristics lying at the heart of what made Homeworld a deep, rewarding and unique experience. The original Homeworld became an instant classic of the real-time strategy genre when it first came out in 1999.
