Gameplay Video (11 mins)

Up until now, footage of Sony’s upcoming online shooter, Starhawk, has remained grounded for the most part. Fortunately, that will change next week, as space gameplay is set to be unveiled at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.

In an interview with PlayStation.Blog, Santa Monica Studios’ Senior Producer Harvard Bonin detailed the impending reveal, who appears very excited for the event himself.

We’re going to be rolling out our Space level at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany on August 17th.

I can’t wait till everyone sees it… Gotta love dogfighting in space! Also we’ll be at PAX in Seattle with the same demo the week after, August 26 to 28th, but there we’ll have our Observer Cam up and running so the crowd can enjoy the action too. It should be a blast!

Warhawk fans have a lot to be excited about, as this spiritual successor seeks to take the action leaps and bounds beyond the first title. No word yet on exactly when gamers will be able to get their hands on the final product, but one thing is for sure, it will be worth the wait.
