AUSTIN, Texas – April 23, 2024 – Homeworld: Vast Reaches will launch on the Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 on May 2, 2024 according to FarBridge, Inc., a leading game development studio.

Players will build up their armada of ships and face off against a mysterious new foe in dynamic outer space combat throughout a thrilling campaign.
“We can’t wait for players to get their hands on Homeworld: Vast Reaches and step into the role of Fleet Command.” said Patrick Curry, CEO of FarBridge. “Making a new Homeworld game has been a dream project for us at FarBridge, combining our passions for virtual reality, outer space, and of course the rich sci-fi universe of Homeworld.”
The Homeworld universe is famous for its signature three-dimensional combat encounters and environments in deep space. It is perfectly positioned for the world of VR gaming that empowers players to view the action from any angle as they drag, drop, and command their ships into precise formations for combat. Homeworld: Vast Reaches also lets players with passthrough MR to experience this universe with immersive 3D battles in their real-world spaces, from entire rooms to their tabletops.
