Today, Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox published a blog detailing the abundance of changes and additions coming to Homeworld 3. Releasing on November 21, Update 1.3 delivers all of the content in the Year One Pass, including two premium DLC packs bolstering the War Games mode, as well as a host of free updates and further enhancements to deliver the complete vision for Homeworld 3.
Highlights for Homeworld 3’s last major content update include:
-
Combat Tuning: The game’s overall combat, resource and research management, and skirmish mode will be significantly updated and rebalanced based on community feedback and playtesting. For a more detailed look at the balance changes, please reference the Patch notes.
-
New Abilities: Available to use in all modes, Reinforce is a new targeted ship ability that lets players manage existing and new units within a fleet much more seamlessly than before.
-
War Games Additions: Introducing Interstitials, a new system which creates encounters that have a random chance of occurring between each round of a War Games run. Each interstitial will give players a different opportunity to enhance their fleet but at a high cost.
-
Premium DLC Packs: Two premium DLC War Games content packs will be available for individual purchase or for those who purchased the Homeworld 3 – Year One Pass so players can experience the unique gameplay styles of two new factions – the Somtaaw and Taiidan, each featuring two new dedicated War Games fleets.
