De real time strategy game Homeworld 3 is voor de derde keer uitgesteld. Dat hebben uitgever Gearbox Publishing en ontwikkelaar Blackbird Interactive bekendgemaakt met de onderstaande statement.
Homeworld 3 stond gepland voor lancering voor 8 maart 2024. Dat wordt nu met vijf weken uitgesteld naar 13 mei 2024. De game zal dan uitkomen op de PC via Steam en de Epic Games Store. Homeworld 3 krijgt een prijskaartje van €59,99. Pre-orderen is nu mogelijk en spelers kunnen ook een gratis demo van Homeworld 3 uitproberen. Blackbird Interactive heeft besloten om de game met enkele weken uit te stellen na feedback van een groep play testers. Om een zo goed mogelijke gameplay ervaring te kunnen aanbieden, heeft het team nog iets langer ontwikkeltijd nodig.
Statement Blackbird Interactive over het uitstellen van Homeworld 3
“Hello, Commanders
We hope you all have been enjoying your first-time going hands-on with Homeworld 3 during our public demo of War Games.
Watching you share your experiences, exchange and debate strategies, and give us constant feedback has been incredible. This was our first time seeing the game played at scale, which is always an equally thrilling and nerve-wracking moment.
We also recently gathered a dedicated group of players from outside our organizations to play through the full game. This resulted in additional insights and perspective that will be incorporated to make Homeworld 3 the best experience possible.
After careful analysis of feedback, we made the decision to delay the global launch of Homeworld 3 until May 13, with advanced access set for May 10, to ensure that we’re making the final tweaks needed to deliver at the level of quality that we strive for and you deserve.
To say that you as a community of players have been waiting patiently for this next installment would be an understatement, and we are deeply appreciative of that. We will continue to keep you updated on our progress.
As always, you’re welcome to send your feedback via social channels, the Homeworld Universe discord, and through our support page.
Thank you all for playing, and we’ll talk again soon.”
