I still remember sitting down for Sony’s press conference years back, and watching a cinematic trailer for the Warhawk reboot, which was going to be a big-budget singleplayer adventure at that point. That changed, and Warhawk became focused on multiplayer and found a cult following upon its release.

Starhawk is the spiritual successor to Warhawk, and this one has a proper campaign.

You’ll get a chance to help LightBox Interactive tweak the multiplayer, however, as a private beta test starts next week (start checking your emails!), and will continue expanding over the next few months, the PlayStation Blog has revealed.

The beta will initially only feature Capture The Flag maps, but more stages and modes will be added as it goes on.

If you’re one of the players who picked up Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception and found a Starhawk beta voucher within, you’ll have access early next year.
