Blackbird Interactive announced today that they had pushed back the release date of Homeworld 3 to the first half 2023 in order to allow the developers time to finish the game. The delay message states that "delivering Homeworld 3 with the highest possible quality is our top priority because we understand the special place in the hearts and minds of players." The delay message says, "This passion of players fuels our work. And the additional time allows us to deliver on our commitment to high quality in a sustainable and healthy way for everyone involved." "An update on the launch of Homeworld 3: pic.twitter.com/uKc5jPOctoJune 10, 2022See moreThe word "crunch" isn't used anywhere in the message, but it's clear that's what the studio is talking about. The practice of working long hours to meet deadlines (also known as "crunch") has been an industry standard for years. However, some studios and developers have recently begun to fight against this practice. The director of The Witcher 4 recently promised that crunch wouldn't happen on his watch. This is a huge promise, considering that CD Projekt has a history of brutal crunch in previous games. Blackbird said it would also share "the most detailed look ever" at Homeworld 3 at Gamescom later this summer, which runs from August 24-28. The company also showed off some new combat animations in development, which showcased the capabilities of an entirely new type of strike craft. "These strike crafts pop out from behind cover to perform a strafing while the frigate’s guns are reloading. The more powerful frigate is smashed to pieces if it's caught in this pattern.
