Gearbox Studio raises money for Homeworld 3 with the help of crowdfunding. Something like this can be expected from smaller studios, but not from the authors of Borderlands.
Nevertheless, Gearbox asked fans for only $1. The players did not stop there and invested $ 528 thousand in the game in five days. The number of backers exceeded 3 thousand people.
Homeworld 3 production starts in a few months. Until then, Gearbox will collect ideas and suggestions from the community. But first she needed to attract the attention of fans of the series. For this purpose, she chose crowdfunding.
We were looking forward to the opportunity to establish communication with the community, and in exactly the way that is possible only through crowdfunding. You will be able to influence the development of the game and show that fans still want Homeworld 3. This is your chance to tell what you expect from the game, what features and priorities it should have. And even — what should include a collector's edition.
In return, Gearbox promises to implement the most interesting ideas of the community in the game. Note that fundraising and community feedback is conducted on the Fig site.
Homeworld 3 is a Blackbird Interactive project, and Gearbox is its publisher. The game is a continuation of the classic RTS series. The preliminary release date is 2022.
