Homeworld 3 – Year One Pass Roadmap Update

Players can look forward to three free updates worth of content and two paid DLCs launching together in November. Here are some of the features coming to Homeworld 3 in the upcoming DLC:

New Skirmish Mode Features – After carefully reviewing community feedback, the team has implemented highly requested changes to Skirmish mode, such as tweaks to resourcing, adjustments to researching, and more. Notably, this update will add Hyperspace Jumping which allows players to surprise their enemies with a rapid assault or escape if their mothership becomes surrounded.
New Free Artifacts and Challenges – The team will be adding more than 40 Artifacts and nine challenges for free to help shake up War Games for everyone. This includes the introduction of a new 'Ultimate' class of Artifacts that becomes available after collecting an Artifact Pattern and one of each of the upgrade Artifacts.
New War Games Factions – Two new factions, Taiidan and Somtaaw, will enter the fray for the War Games mode with the paid DLC packs. These franchise favorites introduce exciting new ships and strategies for players to explore. Each new War Games faction comes with two unique fleets, new ships, dozens of new artifacts, and ten new challenges to test your skills as a commander.
