Blackbird Interactive’s Homeworld 3 will undergo a revision in its content roadmap, and all remaining paid/free content will be released in one go.
In an update shared with fans on the game’s Steam page, the developers disclosed that they have decided to accelerate their content roadmap after update 1.2. This comes after the title didn’t manage to meet its fans’ expectations. As of now, Homeworld 3 has received “mostly negative” reviews on Steam simply because players feel that the game lacks core elements and has unimpressive mechanics and gameplay. The developers have decided to haste up things following the negative sentiment to gain interest.
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 worth of content launching as one major update in November.
This move is simply an attempt to give back to the community what they initially expected with Homeworld 3. Blackbird further elaborates that those who purchased the “One Year Pass” will still get all the new content, including modifications inspired by community requests. One such example is the addition of Hyperspace Jumping in Skirmish mode, along with the choice to choose respective campaign missions. The developers are also bringing several other fan-driven changes, which will undoubtedly put the title in a much better position.
So, for now, fans will have to wait till November to see what Blackbird has in stores, and the company hasn’t provided an update on what comes next after this particular update. Still, we’ll likely see a slowed-down development by the firm after this one massive update. Make sure to check our review on Homeworld 3 here if you are interested.
