Gearbox Publishing and Blackbird Interactive have given Homeworld 3 a definitive release date of March 8, 2024, following several delays, with pre-orders live on Steam and the Epic Games Store. There are no less than four editions available (including a standard edition that is just the base game), each one more expensive than the last, and pre-ordering any of them nets you a Kushan Carrier War Games Skin. If you want to start playing the game from March 5, three days before launch, you’ll have to pre-order the Fleet Command Edition for $89.99 or the physical-only Collector’s Edition, which is a whopping $174.99.
If you’re wondering why the Collector’s Edition is so expensive, it’s because it comes with a host of physical goodies, including four true-to-scale figures of some of Homeworld 3’s spaceships. Every edition barring the standard one also includes access to the Year One season pass, which will consist of three DLC drops for the game’s co-op roguelike War Games mode.
