In case you missed it today’s Austin American-Statesman, the veil has lifted on a new game being worked on by Austin’s LightBox Interactive studio. The game, “Starhawk,” is being called a “spiritual successor” to “Warhawk,” a combat game that was released in 2007 for the PlayStation 3.
About 45 team members in Austin are working on the project, which is due for release in early 2012. It’s an action third-person shooter with some light real-time-strategy elements (which the developers call “Build & Battle” and even aerial dogfighting. I played the first level of the game as a demo and was impressed by how polished and playable the game was for being so early. It will be a single- and multi-player game, exclusive for the PS3.
Here are a few more screenshots from the game:
