![]() The prospect of reliving that experience even if I may be a lot more time limited (!) has massive appeal. Time acceleration wouldn’t appear until the sequel but I was kept mesmerised by the almost balletic display of fighters, frigates, destroyers and carriers taking on their enemies and so the hours passed away faster than I would realise. A couple of missions literally kept me going for over hours non-stop as I wanted to get my fleet safely through and stocked up on resources. Though I got my fair share of RTS action previously with Command & Conquer it was Homeworld that really grabbed my attention and it chewed through an insane amount of my time when it was first released. Paul Ruskay will also return to compose for the game which is fantastic news because the music and audio from Homeworld has always been a major factor in setting the right tone for the series. The CEO of Blackbird, Rob Cunningham, was the art director of the original games while studio concept director Aaron Kambeitz was the lead artist so you know they’ll nail the look of the new game easily. These investors will also get a copy of the game.With so many of the team working on it being involved in the past games (including Deserts of Kharak and the Remastered Collection) there is no disputing the pedigree is as good as you’re going to get and this is a great way to celebrate 20 years since the release of that first game. The publisher emphasised that Homeworld 3 is at an "incredibly early" stage, just a few months into pre-production.īackers are also invited to invest $500 in shares of Fig itself, which will generate returns based on the platform's share of Homeworld 3's sales revenue. Gearbox is also talking up the ability for fans to get involved in the game's development, initially via a backer-only survey that will gauge expectations for Homeworld 3's "features, priorities and even what the collector's edition will include." The choice of Fig as a crowdfunding platform means backers will be able to invest in a way that yields a share of the profits when the game eventually launches, currently earmarked for Q4 2022. Given Homeworld 3 is already on a "solid foundation, funding-wise," it's not clear what the excess funds from this campaign will be used for. It continued: "We're partnering with Fig to give back to longtime fans who have sustained Homeworld for 20 years by giving them a chance to invest in Homeworld 3's success and help us understand the game they've been dreaming about."

In an FAQ at the bottom of the Fig page, Gearbox explained the reason it's only asking for $1 is "because we want it to be clear that the game is on a solid foundation, funding-wise." It is being developed by Blackbird Interactive, a studio founded by the original game's art director Rob Cunningham, with the support of the Gearbox Publishing team that helped bring Homeworld Remastered Collection to market. Homeworld 3 and its campaign were announced during PAX West this weekend. ![]() At the time of writing, the game's Fig total stands at $434,500 from 2,413 - and there are still 27 days to go. Additionally, investments and pledges will provide a chance to tell the developers what they expect of Homeworld 3 via a backer-only survey. The campaign will allow longtime Homeworld fans to become investors in Fig and participate in the game’s future success. Unsurprisingly, backers have already pledged considerably more than that. The project is in its early stages with only a few months into pre-production. A crowdfunding campaign has begun for Homeworld 3, with a funding goal of just $1.
