Homeworld: Revelations captures the magic of the Homeworld series and brings it to your tabletop. Now it’s available for pre-order from Modiphius.

The Homeworld series of videogames broke new ground twenty years ago, blending real-time, fleet-based combat in three dimensions with epic storytelling and a campaign that actually feels like you progress across a galaxy.

The story of the Kushan and their escape from a merciless empire in search of their true home world, and their discoveries along the way reveal a harsh but wondrous galaxy. Hidden truths and ancient, star-bound aliens and more were unfurled to players conveying a sense of exploration alongside thrilling space combat that required you to build the right kind of fleet for the right kind of mission if you were to survive the long journey. Two years ago, a sequel crowdfunded, and with it came a bonus goal–an RPG that would bring Homeworld to your tabletop.

This new TTRPG features creative input from Martin Cirulis, one of the original writers of Homeworld, and cover artwork from Aaron Kambeitz, the original lead artist. In Homeworld: Revelations, players become part of the crew aboard one of the Kushan fleet’s starships and set a course for action, adventure, and discovery.

Homeworld: Revelations will give fans of the original Homeworld game the exciting opportunity to view the universe from a new perspective, taking on the role of the crew aboard one of the Kushan fleet’s ships.

Homeworld: Revelations expands on what we know of the Kushan people and the game’s major factions, like the Kadesh and the Taiidan. Fans of the universe will learn that there are more incredible secrets hidden within the Guidestone which can be discovered through the roleplaying game. You can expect more detail on the people of the whirlpool galaxy so players can create their own stories of discovery and adventure, revisit locations from Homeworld to uncover their mysteries, and even explore the events of the Exodus to find out what else the Kushan discovered, gained and lost on that famous journey.

Modiphius has employed the expertise of Martin Cirulis, one of the original writers of Homeworld, to consult on the setting and lore, along with Homeworld experts at Gearbox Entertainment and Blackbird Interactive whilst one of the original artists for the Homeworld video game, Aaron Kambeitz, has created the cover art.
