Not only have we been treated to the first numbered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/baldurs-gate-3-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baldur\u2019s Gate<\/a> for over 20 years, but a new Homeworld game is on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>A prequel dropped in 2016 (also made by new developers Blackbird Interactive), but the last numbered game in the series was Homeworld 2, released back in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>So this is a pretty big deal for fans of the series. It should hopefully introduce a new generation to the lore, too.<\/p>\n<p>[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n<p>But what exactly do we know about the new game? Let\u2019s take a Homeworld 3 deep dive and look at the release date, pre-order details, and all we know about the gameplay and story.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the Homeworld 3 release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve been waiting over two decades for the next proper instalment, but we\u2019re very close to Homeworld 3\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Homeworld 3 will release on 13th May 2024<\/strong>. That\u2019s less than a week away, so get to replaying the first two and Deserts of Kharak quickly, if you haven\u2019t already!<\/p> <h2><strong>Can I pre-order Homeworld 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can indeed pre-order it!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Homeworld 3 is available to pre-purchase from Steam<\/strong>.

Asteroid fields are as much a hazard as your conscious foes.<\/p>\n<p>The new multiplayer mode is where the roguelike part comes in. Here, you and a friend go on a \u201crun\u201d facing various enemies and challenges.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know much about the story at the moment. But it\u2019s set 100 years after the second game (Deserts of Kharak was set way before the first game, so don\u2019t expect to see any characters from that one), and there\u2019s an ominous force called \u201cThe Anomaly\u201d swallowing all the matter in the galaxy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there a Homeworld 3 trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>There is indeed a Homeworld 3 trailer<\/strong>!
