The Homeworld 3 Collector’s Edition is an epic tribute to a strategy classic

Following a two-month delay, Homeworld 3 is ready to launch on May 13, but you can play the game three days early with its epic Collector’s Edition. The Collector’s Edition has been available to pre-order for some time, and we recently got a detailed look at the minis and other items featured in its $174.99 release, which you can currently pre-order from Amazon, Target, and GameStop.

Much like the Collector’s Edition produced for Homeworld Remastered, the Homeworld 3 Collector’s Edition comes packaged with a detailed replica of the game’s Mothership, complete with LED lighting accents. While the Mothership’s default position is lying flat, fans of the original Homeworld will be relieved to know that the model can also be rotated to its classic “space-banana” orientation.

In addition to a model of the Mothership, you’ll also find scale model replicas of Homeworld 3’s Hiigaran Destroyer and Torpedo Frigate, which fit neatly inside the Mothership’s docking bay (see photo lower down on this page). You’ll also find an enlarged three-ship squadron of recon fighters in delta formation.

The Collector’s Edition also includes a spotter deck, a 52-card deck of playing cards featuring silhouettes of the ships featured in the game, a small lithograph, and a keychain modeled after the Homeworld 3 logo.

In addition to its exclusive collectibles, the Collector’s Edition includes all of the digital bonuses featured in the $89.99 Fleet Command Edition of Homeworld 3. These include access to the first year of post-release content, a digital soundtrack, in-game cosmetic items, and early access to the game. The digital-exclusive Fleet Command Edition is currently available to pre-order from Steam and the Epic Games Store.
