Warhawk expands in December with new maps, dropship


Sony has confirmed plans for a downloadable expansion to its multiplayer-only shooter Warhawk, echoing news broken last month in Game Informer magazine. The expansion, titled Omega Dawn, will drop in December, and will add five new industrial-themed maps -- all set at night for "added impact and tension" -- which Sony claims to offer the largest combat areas in the game so far.

That's all well and good, but we need new toys as well, and here Sony will include the KT-424 Combat Dropship, inside which you will be able to cram seven soldiers, a pilot, and a ground vehicle for efficient, if not terribly comfortable combat fun. The dropship also packs a new weapon, the MBEC-3 Heavy Support Cannon, which if anything certainly sounds impressive, and the new vehicle will be usable on any of the existing or newly added maps, which incidentally will support all of Warhawk's different game modes. With December just a few short days away, Omega Dawn's price has unfortunately not yet been revealed, so in taking a page from The Price is Right -- 'How much would you pay?'
