The mission opens and immediately demonstrates one of the strengths of this series, but amped up for a new generation of players – scale. This module will let us outfit it with the tech needed to build additional ships, so it will be crucial on our journey. Facility 315 is a storage facility just outside the vast Kalan Wastes where we might be able to recover a Production Facility module for our Khar-Kushan Mothership. The tutorial mission is called Facility 315 and is actually the second mission of the game.
#HOMEWORLD 3 PUBLISHERS SERIES#
I got to play two levels for my hands-on time (Incidentally, I was the very first person in the world other than the developer and publisher to play Homeworld 3) – an early game tutorial, and a mission that showcased a true game changer for the series – cover. Additionally, it’s worth knowing that the game will feature a robust multiplayer mode, but the emphasis will once again be on an engaging single player experience. While the game takes place hundreds of years after the events of Homeworld 2, you might see a few familiar things. While it is a numbered sequel, you don’t need more than what you’ll find in the trailer below to get started. Homeworld 3 doesn’t suppose that you have played any of the previous titles.


It’s time to revolutionize the RTS genre all over again. Now, thanks to Gearbox and Blackbird Interactive, we’ve finally gotten our hands on Homeworld 3, and wow…you aren’t prepared for what’s next. With a neuroscientist named Karan S’jet wired into a massive ship known as the Mothership for control, they opened slipstreams into the furthest reaches of space, giving us Homeworld (1999), Homeworld Cataclysm (2000), Homeworld 2 (2003), Homeworld: Remastered Collection (2015) and finally Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (2016). It evoked the same panic, exhaustion, and desperation as we saw in Battlestar Galactica as jump after jump slowly whittled away resources in a desperate bid to follow a mysterious stone map leading to a place called “Hiigara”. No longer would you meet foes on a level playing field, able to attack from all angles, utilizing a wide variety of tactical configurations such as sphere or wall. Homeworld revolutionized the RTS genre, pushing players to think multi-dimensionally about their engagements with the enemy.
