That lovable rascal Dylan Jobe, Game Director of Warhawk, has posted up
some info on the PlayStation.Blog regarding an upcoming update to the game. Version 1.3 has a huge feature list and will introduce some new gameplay elements whilst improving on various server options and online mechanics. The best thing about it though? It'll be completely free.
There are no new maps or vehicles (this is an update, not an expansion) but instead the game will be further improved with the inclusion of two new items for ground-troops. The Bio-Field Generator acts as a personal healing station that can be placed down like a mine and the Field Mechanic's Wrench is a one-hit-kill melee weapon that doubles as a quick-repair for vehicles. On top of this, the 1.3 patch will introduce better VOIP options as well as new paint schemes for the air-based vehicles chosen from the ongoing
Warhawk Paint & Insignia contest.
Finally, Dylan mentions that their
Home integration is coming along really nicely and that v1.3 will utilise game launching from inside
Home. A great, much anticipated, feature. Interesting that we're seeing its implementation so soon, considering
Home still has a TBA release date. Speaking of releases, when can we expect to see this update? It's in testing at the moment, with no expected release date for now. Hopefully we'll hear something more specific very soon. If you want to read more about the update (and you do) check out the
post on the PlayStation.Blog.
Oh yeah, did we mention this will all be free?
