The game made its debut on GameTrailers TV earlier this evening, and is described by series boss Dylan Jobe as, predictably, ābigger and betterā. As you can see in the clip above, thereās missile swarms, giant mechs and, most interesting of all, transforming fighter craft. Itās like Battlefield meets Macross
Thereās also an RTS element to the game, players able to call down buildings using credits earned during battle that can help turn the tide of battle.
And, if you like stories in your multiplayer shooters, this has one. With a singleplayer campaign mode and everything. What youāll do with it is anyoneās guess, but hey, thereās context there for the carnage if you need it.
While the original was a pioneering downloadable title, Starhawk will only be released on Blu-Ray. Itās due in 2012.
