Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak ‘Primary Anomaly’ will be released Jan. 21, 2016 on Steam. This game is for Windows only and is rated for ages 10+.

The latest in the Homeland series is a prequel. Players will learn how those on the desert planet, Kharak learned about where they came from, using a mysterious relic halfway around their world.

The ‘Primary Anomaly’ is a wrecked starship that holds one of the three hyperspace cores. This wreck was to be retrieved in the first game but was only shown in the air in the opening cutscene. It appears this prequel will expand on this starship wreckage.

The original game came with a book that covered the tribal history of Kharak. It seems Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak ‘Primary Anomaly’ will be expanding on that as well.
