Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak A Ground-Based Prequel RTS, Launches January 2016
Before you can walk you must learn how to crawl, so before you can command a mighty space fleet traversing the stars you must first master the art of real-time strategy on a desert planet. Blackbird Interactive and Gearbox Software will teach us this life lesson.
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a prequel to the events in the original games, which by the way are offered freely to those who pre-order the new ground-based strategy in the form of the quite excellent Remastered Collection, which includes the actual original titles and the HD polished versions. We will have fleets of ground forces instead of starships.
EXPERIENCE AN ORIGIN STORY
In Deserts of Kharak’s campaign, an anomaly is discovered deep in the southern desert. An expedition is sent, but the story is not that simple. Discover the story of Rachel S'jet as she leads her people on a quest to find their destiny in an exciting campaign.
