We are now less than a month away from the release of the long-awaited, and long-delayed, space-based RTS sequel Homeworld 3 on May 13. Today, its developer Blackbird Interactive announced that it has made some final adjustments to the PC system requirements for the game that should make it playable to a wider audience.

In addition, Blackbird has released some details about the first year of post-launch content that will be available for Homeworld 3. The content drops will be for the War Games co-op mode in the game. It will include a mix of free content and paid DLC packs. The free content will add new challenges, artifacts, and maps to War Games. The three paid DLC packs will each add a new playable faction to the mode, along with new starting fleets and more.
People can purchase the Year One Pass on Steam, or they can get it as part of the game's Collector's Edition. It's still available for $174.99 at Amazon. It also includes, among other things, a 14-inch model of the game's main Mothership, along with smaller models of the game's Hiigaran Destroyer, Torpedo Frigate, and three Recon ships in formation. You can also play the game three days early, on May 10.
A few outlets got the Homeworld 3 Collector's Edition, like Shacknews, ahead of time and have posted videos of them unboxing it and showing off its ship models and other content.
