Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak Announced
Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox Software have announced that
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak will be coming out on PC on January 20.
“After
more than a decade-long hiatus for Homeworld, it is an immense honor in
the last year to launch two new entries in the Homeworld franchise: an
incredible, critically acclaimed remastering of the original Homeworld
games and now the all-new, ground-based, real-time-strategy game called
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak,” said Randy Pitchford, president of
Gearbox Software.
Deserts of Kharak will be an origin story where chief science officer
"Rachel S'jet leads an expedition to find salvation." Players will
control fleets of units "from nimble light attack vehicles to massive
heavyweight cruisers," and will fight their way across the "massive
environments" of Kharak. There will also be online multiplayer.
