Starhawk Launches On May 8th, Beta Starts Today

Sony announced today that their PS3 exclusive game, Starhawk, will be launching on May 8th. This news coincides with the beginning of the Starhawk public beta which is now open to all Playstation Plus subscribers and anyone who participated in the private beta.

Sony did make a point to say that since this is a beta, expect problems. There will be freezing, glitching, crashing, and not all of the in game features will be included.

Speaking of the features, here’s what you can expect to see in the beta:

 

Classic Arcade Flight-Mode: Private Beta players asked for it and we’re happy to include the classic arcade flight from Warhawk.

Host Migration: When the host leaves the game, the hosting duties transfer to another player and gameplay will continue, provided the option is checked.

Language Support: European and Japanese languages are included. Korea, China, Latin America and Brazil will be in English…but these will include the appropriate languages for the full game.

Skills: Players will be able to collect unique Skills to use in gameplay based on their performance. Playstation Network Friend Integration: Friends status, messages, and friend requests.

Bug Fixes: Lots and lots of bugs have been addressed.
