“After the release of Update 1.2, we made the decision to combine all remaining paid DLC and free content on the roadmap into one unified delivery in November. Combining content into one bit will allow us to focus all of our resources and provide a higher quality experience for all of you,” he says. announcement of a change in the action plan.

“With the changes we’re making, we want to assure those of you who purchased the Year One Pass that you’ll receive everything we promised you. We’ve also made adjustments to our plans to include things the community has been asking for,” the announcement reads.

The Year One Pass provided access to three paid DLCs that would expand the cooperative wargames experience with up-to-date playable factions and artifacts, the Kalan Raiders pack, which came out in July, and the Somtaaw and Taiidan fleet packs, which would come out in November.

Having early access to some of these updates is probably a good thing in and of itself, but if you check out the comments on the announcement post, you’ll find that many players are disappointed that the Somtaaaw Fleet Pack only includes two up-to-date ships, and are worried that the game won’t receive any further updates after the end of the year because of it.

In our Homeworld 3 review, Nic felt the game was sometimes too faithful to its predecessors, but also criticized it for “favoring responsiveness over tactical depth.” The November update will include free changes based on community feedback, some of which could support address this particular issue, including the ability for players to decide when they’re ready to move on to the next mission, a more linear tech tree, and a reduction in available resources to make decisions about what ships to build more meaningful.
