Warhawk expansion in Dec News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

26 November, 2007

Sony has unveiled plans to release a downloadable expansion pack for Warhawk in December.

Dubbed Omega Dawn, it brings with it a whole new world explored across five maps, all set at night-time and populated by building complexes and industrial towers. These fresh locations will support all the usual game-types, too, and will be the largest areas you have seen so far.

The other big toy is a KT-424 Combat Dropship; an aircraft capable of transporting seven soldiers as well as a vehicle and the pilot. It also has an enormous cannon on-board for a healthy dose of murder, and will be yours to play around with once you take control of a weapons factory on the map.

According to Sony there will be lots of vertical shoot-outs across multi-tiered buildings only reachable by air, and you will also be able to use the dropship in the original collection of maps.

An exact date and accompanying price are yet to be mentioned, but we'll let you know when they are.

In the meantime, pop over to our Warhawk review to find out why its online multiplayer battles are among the best thing to do on PlayStation 3 this Christmas.

Sounds like there is becoming less and less reason to get Killzone 2

I've always wanted to be a dropship pilot since watching Aliens back in 1986 =D

Warhawk is one of the few PS3 exclusive games that sounds genuinely fun. And I'd like to try that big cannon for a "healthy dose of murder" too!

I believe Dylan was saying that was coming for patch 1.2, which I thought was out soon. Well it was described as "added clan support", and would enable you to run a server and reserve space for clan members.

If Call Of Duty 4 never came along, I think I might be into Warhawk. Definitely interested in an expansion, though.

Yes! Warhawk is great and an expansion is more than welcome.

I agree with jlaakso that COD4 has pulled me from Warhawk, but it's nice to have an additional reason to visit it again!

Was just wondering about the price - surely with the full game (download version) costing £20 they can't be expecting more than a fiver for the expansion?

Hopefully there is some way of buying it if you don't have plastic.

Warhawk along with COD 4 are the best multiplayer around on any system.
