Sci-fi RTS follow-up Homeworld 3 is in the works, crowdfunding campaign now live And Homeworld's heading to mobile too. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 30 Aug 2019 21 comments Gearbox and developer Blackbird Interactive are currently working on Homeworld 3, the long-awaited next instalment in Relic Entertainment's well-regarded sci-fi real-time strategy series. It's been a good long while since a new numbered Homeworld game appeared (although the series did get a prequel, Deserts of Kharak, in 2016), with Homeworld 2 having released all the way back in 2003. It could be a good long while until we see the next series entry too; Gearbox says Homeworld 3 is still in the early stages, and "only a few months into pre-production". All the same, the publisher is hoping that punters will be willing to toss money its way to support development. Homeworld 3 is attempting to secure funds through investments and pledges on crowdfunding website Fig, with Gearbox having elected to set a $1 USD goal. Watch on YouTube While Homeworld 3 still looks to be some way off, a separate series project - with the work-in-progress title Homeworld Mobile - is seemingly much closer to fruition. This attempt to bring Homeworld's space-faring RTS action to mobile devices is being handled by developer Stratosphere, and will be out next year. There's the tiniest glimpse in the teaser below. According to Gearbox, Homeworld 3 backers on Fig will be "guaranteed priority access" to Homeworld Mobile when it eventually arrives.
