In November 2019, Blackbird announced that it had been involved in the development of Minecraft Earth. Many key developers of the first two Homeworld games will return to lead the development of Homeworld 3, including Blackbird CEO Rob Cunningham and Homeworld soundtrack composer Paul Ruskay. As of the announcement date, the game was still in pre-production stages, and a tentative release date of late 2022 was given. In August 2019, Blackbird announced that it had begun development of a new Homeworld title, Homeworld 3, as a direct sequel to Homeworld 2 released in 2003. In February 2017, Blackbird announced a collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to create Project Eagle, an interactive art model of a base on Mars to be demonstrated live on stage at the 2017 D.I.C.E.

Blackbird and Gearbox Software were among the bidders for the IP rights to Homeworld Gearbox won the auction at $1.35 million. THQ went bankrupt in April 2013, and sold off its assets at auction. The studio entered into negotiations with THQ, which controlled Relic, for adapting their original game into a Homeworld game, but were unable to secure access to the intellectual property. In 2010, after beginning operations, Blackbird began working on a game they considered a 'spiritual successor' to Homeworld, entitled Hardware: Shipbreakers. CEO Rob Cunningham and chief creative officer Jon Aaron Kambeitz had also been founding members of Relic, and had been on the development team for the 1999 RTS Homeworld and its 2003 sequel, Homeworld 2. The focus on Karan is a little perplexing, but we'll apparently be learning more about the story soon enough: 'We have got a lot more exciting details to share next year as we prepare for the launch of this massive next chapter,' Cunningham said.Blackbird was founded in 2007 by former members of Relic Entertainment and EA Canada. The opening dialog could use a little audio balancing but once the gameplay kicks in, it's on the money: Big, stylish, and majestically martial. Without wanting to come off as overly superficial, I think it's important that any new Homeworld game looks and sounds the part too, and based on this trailer Homeworld 3 definitely does. Along with the singleplayer campaign, the game will also support a range of co-op and versus multiplayer modes, including 1v1, team battles, and free-for-alls.

Homeworld 3 will be a significant visual upgrade over the previous games, and will also introduce new ships, settings, and strategic options provided by fully simulated ballistics and 'megaliths,' the massive, crumbling space derelicts left behind by an ancient civilization, which can be used to create bottlenecks and deploy ambushes.
