Homeworld is coming to VR this year

FarBridge and Gearbox Entertainment have partnered to present Homeworld: Vast Reaches, a new instalment in the Homeworld franchise that reimagines strategic space combat for Virtual and Mixed Reality. 

In the Homeworld PC games, players assume the role of Fleet Command, a human commander in charge of a fleet of spacecraft. In Homeworld: Vast Reaches, players will engage in the same role in intense battles against a new and mysterious enemy. The Homeworld franchise is also known for its fully three-dimensional battle scenarios and deep-space settings. Homeworld: Vast Reaches takes it further, offering immersive 3D battles that can be scaled to fit the player's environment, from a room-sized engagement to a tabletop skirmish.

FarBridge, the game's developer and publisher, was founded in 2017 by industry veterans from the gaming and film industries to transport players to unique virtual worlds. Homeworld: Vast Reaches is the result of a collaboration between FarBridge and Gearbox Entertainment, bringing this franchise to players in a completely new way. FarBridge will oversee development and publishing, working closely with Gearbox Entertainment to ensure the game's narrative, characters, and mythology remain faithful to the franchise.

Homeworld: Vast Reaches will be available on the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 headsets later this year. Players can now add the game to their wishlists on the Meta Store.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
