You'll manage your mothership across the campaign, introducing new units to your army with each mission.

You know what they say - if it ain't broke, don't fix it - and that certainly seems to heavily influence the strategic gameplay of Homeworld 3. We also get quick looks at the movement system, which looks incredibly similar to the original. Those units will sure sound familiar to fans, with Fighters, Bombers, and Assault Frigates engaging in combat while Resource Collectors zip around to mine asteroids.

Homeworld 3 was originally meant to launch in 2022, before a delay hit during the Summer of the same year. There are no public plans about bringing it to consoles at this time.
