Homeworld 3

Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy game about commanding fleets in fully 3D space battles. Its campaign continues the story after Homeworld 2: the galaxy has enjoyed an age of abundance through the Hyperspace Gate Network, but the gates are now failing catastrophically. Karan, who has passed into myth and religious idolatry, is central to the mystery threatening the galaxy’s future.

Fleet tactics

You can attack head-on, flank enemies or strike from above and below. Simulated ballistics make line of sight and cover important, while space phenomena such as particle storms and asteroid fields challenge your plans. Ancient megaliths add 3D terrain to battles, offering places to conceal your fleet, funnel enemies into ambushes or make dangerous trench runs through turret-filled fortresses.

Your fleet carries over from mission to mission, and damage scars remain on ships. Strike craft pilots and capital ship captains also pass along information through battlefield chatter.

War Games

War Games is a co-op mode for three players that combines the game’s fleet combat with roguelike-inspired challenges. You face a randomized series of battles and can claim Artifacts that improve your ships’ power, speed and weapons. Your results unlock new fleets, giving you more options for changing your strategy.

Multiplayer battles

You can practise in AI skirmish matches before fighting human opponents in 1v1, free-for-all or team battles.

Create and play mods

Mods let players make and share their own content, including maps rebuilt with megaliths and augmented ships. The Unreal game editor supports mod creation, and in-game integration lets you download community mods.
