A ground-based RTS prequel to the classic Homeworld games. Assemble your fleet and lead them to victory on the shifting sands of Kharak in this compelling strategy game. Crafted by Blackbird Interactive, a studio founded by veterans of Homeworld and Company of Heroes, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak takes players to the deserts of Kharak where danger lurks over every dune.
EXPERIENCE AN ORIGIN STORY
In Deserts of Kharak’s campaign, an anomaly is discovered deep in the southern desert. An expedition is sent, but the story is not that simple. Discover the story of Rachel S'jet as she leads her people on a quest to find their destiny in an exciting campaign.
HEAVY DUTY HARDWARE
Take control of fleets of land and air vehicles – from nimble light attack vehicles to massive heavyweight cruisers – built to conquer the desert.
MASSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Fight your way across massive dune seas, deep craters, and hostile canyons in sprawling maps – all in unprecedented fidelity and scale.
TACTICAL COMBAT
Position your fleet to take advantage of the high ground or create ambushes across dune lines in terrestrial combat. Attack your enemies’ resource operations, or assault their military head-on.
STRATEGIC DECISIONS
Meaningful choices in resource management, fleet composition, and technology research directly impact your chances of survival.
ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
Compete online solo or with friends in a variety of game modes, including ranked play, to rise through the ranks and become the most powerful Fleet Captain on Kharak.
Before you can find your Homeworld, you must first unlock the secrets of the desert.
They abandoned space because they couldn't get the fraggin' formations to work or something?
Deeply annoyed at this. Next I'm sure they'll turn it into a moba.
I loved the 3d space aspect of Homeworld. This is something different rebranded to Homeworld for the milkage. You can see the similarities in UI and so forth. Who the fuck likes sand.
I still remember when this game was first announced as F2P title, it was quite heartbreaking. At least Randybox did one thing right (two if we consider the good remasters) by turning the concept into..something that isn't too hollow. It might end up sucking but at least I'm interested again
Radio chatter and the style overall is so authentic it brings nostalgic feelings to me, even though i replayed HW1-2 not so long ago, and this isnt even in space, feels strange
And this might work out allright, while true 3d of original Homeworld games was undeniably cool, it was underused as a gameplay mechanic, i dont recall utilising it much to gain an advantage. Also, if it succeeds, we might see HW3. I'd really like to know what lies beyond the Eye of Aarran!

LOL, Pitchford needs to shut the hell up.
Anyway, this needs to be approached as something else than Homeworld. Just like Rainbow Six: Siege has to be approached as something not Rainbow Six. If they had named these games something else we'd all be able to go into it with a clean slate and experience it without the ties to previously beloved titles. Instead the power is too strong in the old names.
This game was called Hardware: Shipbreakers before Gearbox slapped the Homeworld name on it. It was meant to be a game designed in the spirit of the Homeworld games. Now it is intended to be like a prequel-thingamabob or something.
