![]() Tribes of Midgard, developed by Norsfell, was given a bit more of an update ahead of its July 27 launch on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Steam. Pretty disappointing and worrying given the recent news about the acquisition. The game has been in a kind of development hell since it was announced in 2019, and crowdfunded on Fig. E3 Showcase - No Homeworld 3 news Homeworld 3 Welp, Gearbox just finished their E3 showcase were they teased HM3 with 2 or 3 40 secs clips of devs talking about the previous games, no news about HM3 and no now footage was shown. Sin (RPS in peace) celebrated the small details, and Alex Wiltshire talked with the devs about the design behind the cutting too. Blackbird Interactive will be developing Homeworld 3. Homeworld 3 devs Blackbird Interactive have also been working on Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a first-person job sim about cutting up spaceships for scrap. In the meantime, the devs have been posting art and bits and pieces in updates on Fig. See our E3 2021 schedule for more on all of the everything. I’d very much like to see something of Homeworld 3 at Gearbox’s E3 Showcase stream on Saturday. I’m fine with crowdfunding and fine with investing but both side-by-side just feels off. Especially when Homeworld 3’s goal was a $1 token sum to see how much they can raise, not to determine whether the game got made or not. No trailer here, but Gearbox Software ended their presentation with an announcement surrounding Homeworld 3.It has now entered production The release date is still listed for 2022 so let’s hope that things move quickly and we get another announcement with a new date. Feels weird and crass to say ‘Hey fans, come give us money to potentially make a game and we’ll give you a t-shirt’ and ‘Hey investors, come give us money to potentially make a game and we might give you money’ on the same page. ![]() Bailey said Fig were in talks with Gearbox to get that rolling but these “trailed off after the acquisition announcement.”įig has never sat right with me as a crowdfunding platform. Gearbox were recently bought in April by Embracer Group, the giant web of studios and publishers which includes Deep Silver, THQ Nordic, and dozens more.įig CEO Justin Bailey told that the Homeworld 3 campaign hadn’t yet reached the point where they’d reach out to folks who registered to invest and actually seal the deal. The e-mail is also clear that the game and backer rewards are still coming to people who paid for ’em, they’re just scrapping the whole investment thing. No one actually paid to invest, it was all still pending. The message notes that “there have been recent changes at Gearbox” and because of that, Fig has cancelled investment reservations. ![]() One would-be investor shared the e-mail they received from Fig on Reddit. While development continues, the investment aspect has been binned, presumably as a consequence of Homeworld owners Gearbox being bought by the ever-growing Embracer Group. When Homeworld 3 launched a token crowdfunding campaign in 2019, it was through a site which not only lets people throw in cash, it lets some actually invest in the game and get paid if it does well.
