What Homeworld 3 is
Homeworld 3 is a real time strategy (rts) game developed by Blackbird Interactive and released in 2024. It was published by Gearbox Publishing. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are science fiction and warfare. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 35 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Homeworld 3 holds a critic score of 77 out of 100. That places it above 57% of the 612 rated real time strategy (rts) games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2024 averaged 76, so it scored about average for its year.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i5-6600/AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 12 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 1060/AMD RX 480/Intel ARC A380. A 12GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 40GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
