Homeworld 3is condensing its release schedule for post-launch updates. Instead of free and paid content arriving into 2025, it will all - three free updates, and two paid DLCs - arrive together in a “one major update” in November.
“Following the release of update 1.2, we made the decision to combine all remaining paid DLC and free content drops in the roadmap into one unified delivery in November. Combining the content into one beat will allow us to focus all our resources and provide you all with a higher-quality experience,” saysthe announcement of the roadmap change.
Homeworld 3’s post-launch content roadmap.
The Year One Pass granted access to three paid DLCs which would expand the co-op War Games mode with new playable factions and artifacts. That’s the Kalan Raiders pack, which released in July, and the Somtaaw and Taiidan fleet packs that are now dropping in November.
In ourHomeworld 3 review, Nic found the game sometimes too faithful to its predecessors, but also dinged it for “favouring reaction speed over tactical depth.” The November update will include free changes based on community feedback, some of which might help address that particular problem, including the ability for players to decide themselves when they’re ready to move onto the next mission, a more linear tech tree, and a reduction in available resources so as to make decisions about what ships to build matter more.
