Homeworld 3: release date window, trailer, pre-order, and more
The long, long wait for a new Homeworld title is finally coming to a close. This classic RTS series once stood toe-to-toe with the titans of the genre such as StarCraft and Command and Conquer, but aside from a more recent prequel, it hasn’t been seen since the sequel in 2003.
At the same time, the entire RTS genre has fallen from the grace it once enjoyed, with almost none of the major names existing in that space anymore.

Eventually we are treated to some ships soaring across various locations in and out of planetary orbit. Intercut with these establishing shots are flashes of a woman in some sort of tube filled with fluid and connected via large cables. For those unfamiliar, or who may
