PC gamers have a limited-time opportunity to experience the latest instalment in the Homeworld franchise with the release of a demo for Homeworld 3 on Steam. The demo introduces the War Games mode, a blend of roguelike elements with the series' signature real-time strategy gameplay, challenging players with randomized battles. Successful completion of these battles allows players to upgrade their spaceship in preparation for subsequent encounters.

Adding to the excitement, Homeworld 3's demo includes a three-player online co-op mode and the progress made in the demo will transfer to the full game upon its release. However, gamers must act quickly as this demo experience concludes the following Monday night.

The franchise has since seen various new entries and remakes, with Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak being the latest release in 2016. Homeworld 3, initially slated for a late 2022 release, faced delays but is now scheduled to launch on March 8 on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Is Homeworld 3 demo available for multiplayer?

Yes, the Homeworld 3 demo features a three-player online co-op mode, allowing friends to team up and experience the game before it officially releases.

Homeworld 3 continues the renowned space-strategy lineage of the Homeworld series, known for its intricate gameplay mechanics and deep space lore. The series revolutionized the RTS genre with its 3D combat and fully rendered space environments, distinguishing itself from traditional ground-based RTS games. The anticipation for Homeworld 3 is significant, given the series’ impactful history and dedicated fan base eager to experience the latest chapter in this legendary space saga.
