I already have an account, I just haven't used it for much. Like, a boardgame, and Tetris. [lol]

[up] Smart move adding in the co-op / PVE mode, that's a great way to increase the longevity of the game past the campaign and skirmish mode.

The system specs were released. Not particularly intensive, should be able to run on most decent systems, unless you're planning on using Ray-Tracing.

Homeworld 3 finally has a (hopefully this time final) release date of March 8th, 2024.

Purchasing Guide

There's also a bit of news to be interpreted from the pre-purchase info. While the co-op War Games mode will be included upon initial release, Blackbird is planning on using the season passes to release new playable factions and artifacts (I'm guessing fleet upgrades).

Tried to install classic HW 1 yesterday, couldn't even start it until I powered up my old laptop to get the registry entries with which the game worked.

2 is fine but I never really liked how they turned units into their own squadrons. And ostensibly you can focus fire on individual components of larger vessels, but it's honestly just best to destroy them outright.

It was already difficult enough trying to command units due to the 3-dimensional nature of the map; having to try to pick out a single fighter from the middle of a chaotic dogfight was a pain, especially if you didn't assign it to a control group beforehand. Having squadrons kinda alleviates that issue somewhat, and is a bit more realistic in how carrier flight groups operate.

Speaking of which... I really struggled with the new demo's control schemes. Kinda wondering how younger me was able to intuitively understand Homeworld 2's controls so quickly, yet older me can barely even order the recon fighters to fly in a straight line or even attack.

Video showing off the goodies packed into Homeworld 3's Collector Edition.

Gotta admit, I was hoping the Mothership model along with the frigates would've been just a wee bit bigger... oh well. Still wouldn't mind owning it!

HOMEWORLD 3 YEAR ONE ROADMAP FOR WAR GAMES

It's confirmed both the Free and paid DLC additions will focus entirely upon introducing multiplayer subfactions, maps and artifacts instead of additional singleplayer content. Though I do wonder what they mean by "New System" for the Free August update...

Oh, and the system requirements were slightly optimized. It's not a big difference but it might make things easier for some folks to run.
