Modding has, historically, been one of Homeworld games' biggest draws. Players and dedicated community developers have been producing phenomenal side-content for Homeworld 1 and Homeworld 2 for years now, and the good news is that Homeworld 3 is going to continue this trend!

That's right: we already know for a fact, that Homeworld 3 will not only officially support mods with mod.io integration by default, but that the developers are also looking to provide full access to modding tools at some point in the future.

Homeworld 3 should, therefore, be a veritable modding powerhouse in a few months' time! Great news for the modding community and all players who want to be able to install mods!

Everything We Know About Homeworld 3 Mods, Tools, and Modding at Large

The good folks over at Gearbox are going all-out when it comes to the modding capacites of Homeworld 3.

Notably, as Homeworld 3 is built on Unreal Engine 4, this is going to make custom asset creation and implementation easy as pie. According to developers: "Players interested in jumping into modding for Homeworld 3 will be using the Homeworld 3 Unreal 4 Editor to develop their mods, which will be made available for download for free on the Epic Games Store. This will require some familiarity with Unreal Editor. There are many creators putting out informative, helpful tutorials and guides on how to use Unreal Editor before you get started".

When all is said and done, it should be fairly straightforward for dedicated modders to install mods to create a whole array of unofficial Homeworld 3 content:

• new maps
• new army compositions and units
• fleet customization options
• assorted game assets

At this time, we do not have an official release window for the Homeworld 3 mod kit, but we expect that the announcement will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
