Starhawk developer LightBox Interactive has laid off 24 people as it prepares to move away from shiny big console games with a smaller, self-funded game for iOS. The PlayStation 3-exclusive spiritual successor to Warhawk received a lukewarm critical and commercial reception, and Sony has said it's no longer working with the Austin studio.

Jumping into a competitive online game can be intimidating, especially if other players have years of experience. Interestingly, Lightbox Interactive may have figured out a way to lure more people into the online world of Starhawk, including newbies.
Starting September 25th, three versions of Starhawk will be available to download on the PlayStation Store. The full game (which includes all post-release updates) will be available for $39.99. However, you can also get the single-player and multiplayer modes separately.
Mobile companion apps are the all the rage with online-enabled games lately, and Starhawk is the latest to get its own. The "Starhawk Mobile Uplink" app is available now for iOS and Android devices, giving you access to various bits of information about the game and your friends.

Online games are notorious for having an abundance of DLC. It's becoming increasingly common for publishers to offer DLC "season passes" at launch, granting continuous access to a game's add-on goods. But Starhawk will not follow the rest of the industry. Instead, LightBox Interactive has promised that all future map packs for the game will be free. Curious, no?
Warhawk managed to garner a dedicated fan base with its unique blend of on-foot, vehicular, and air combat. Five years later, LightBox Interactive has prepared a spiritual successor with Starhawk. Retaining many of the gameplay elements of Warhawk, LightBox expanded upon the formula, adding not only space combat, but a RTS-inspired "Build and Battle" mechanic that allows players to dynamically drop gameplay-changing cargo from the sky.
It's clear that Starhawk will live and die by its multiplayer. However, unlike its predecessor, Starhawk also offers a single-player campaign--one that players will not want to miss.

As an online game, Starhawk is undoubtedly going to pack a ton of DLC. You can get a head start on your digital collection by checking out the latest trailer for the game. By doing so, you'll unlock the "Rift Hunter" skin.
The "Build Your Team" trailer is exclusive to Facebook--and for good reason, too. The trailer will be customized based on info derived from your friends list. Of course, that means you'll have to grant the "app" access to your personal information. But isn't that a small price to pay for free DLC?
While the internet has made it much easier to play against others, it's meant the slow death of one of our favorite N64-era features: split-screen multiplayer. Thankfully, the folks at LightBox Interact understand that it's fun to play side-by-side with a friend and go online at the same time.
Starhawk will feature two-player split-screen, the developer has just announced.
The Starhawk beta is now open for all PlayStation 3 owners, as the game prepares for its May launch. The team promises that within the next few weeks, they'll be adding a new map, vehicles, weapons, and 32-player matches.
As previously reported, the Starhawk public beta will begin today for PlayStation Plus members. (Private beta users have continued access to the public beta.) You'll have about four months to hone your skills before the official release of LightBox Interactive's spiritual successor to Warhawk. Sony has announced that Starhawk will be on store shelves on May 8th.
If you missed your chance to get into the Starhawk private beta, don't fret. The public beta is about to begin very soon. In fact, it will be available for PlayStation Plus members beginning next Tuesday, January 17th.
Everyone that had access to the private beta is welcome to continue playing the public beta, with or without Plus access.
Paid downloadable content has produced some delicious fruit (video game stuff) that might not have otherwise received the water (money) it needed to grow (be made), but it's always nice to simply pluck a blackberry from a bush as you stroll down a country lane and pop it in your mouth (get free stuff too). Huzzah, then, that Starhawk developer Lightbox has said that its spirital successor to Warhawk will see "a bunch" of free DLC as well as paid add-ons.
The Starhawk private beta start date has been confirmed, with the test kicking off on November 22. Publisher SCEA had previously announced the limited beta would run at some point in November, but failed to lock down a date.
According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, the initial beta will be very limited, with access only open to "a selected number of loyal Warhawk players." As time progresses, senior producer Harvard Bonin noted on the blog, more users will be "slow rolled" into the beta.
Everyone that picks up a copy of Uncharted 3 next month will get access to the Starhawk Open Beta in 2012. But, you want even earlier access, don't you?
LightBox Interactive will be launching a private beta for their upcoming PS3-exclusive multiplayer game in November. While the private beta is usually reserved for QA testers and "close friends," Sony will be inviting a number of Warhawk veterans to join the ranks in the coming weeks.
Slipped into the box with Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception will be a voucher code granting early access to the multiplayer beta for Starhawk, Sony has announced. The publisher also sends word that Uncharted 3 has gone gold, and is on its way to manufacturing.
