Starhawk announced for PlayStation 3

New fast paced shooter set for 2012 promises instant customisation on the battlefield in real-time

Posted on
Sony Computer Entertainment has announced Starhawk, a new title coming exclusively to PlayStation 3 in 2012. Developed by LightBox Interactive, in partnership with SCE Santa Monica, Starhawk will provide a fast paced third-person shooter experience set in the frontier of space allowing players to instantly alter the battlefield by calling down offensive and defensive structures in real-time from an orbiting drop ship, whilst blasting away at enemies in the middle of huge single-player or multiplayer battles.

The Starhawk Universe is set in the distant future out in the far reaches of Space where two factions a colony of humans known as the Rifters, and the Outcast, a ruthless species of humans mutated into psychotic monsters by the Rift Energy, a dangerous resource both factions are battling over. Starhawk puts the player in the boots of Emmett Graves, a hired gunslinger ostracised from society due to his own exposure to Rift Energy, leaving him partially mutated, but still able to retain his humanity.

Starhawk features a host of weaponry and a multitude of vehicles for fast paced action combat combined with vehicular warfare on both land and air. The game’s Build & Battle system lets players alter the on-screen action by giving them the ability to change the dynamic of the battlefield instantly with a selection of base structures at their disposal, all while in the midst of the fight. By the touch of a button players can deploy a number of buildings, vehicles, or fire power to strategically complete mission objectives and defeat enemies.

Starhawk also boasts a strong online mode where users can battle head-to-head in 32 player matches, up to four player online and offline co-operative play, and split-screen gameplay within multiplayer and co-op modes against an endless attack of enemies, in addition to a full-fledged single-player story mode with various missions set in a number of interstellar environments.

Starhawk scheduled for release in 2012, only on PlayStation 3.
