Despite its rapid approaching August 28 release date, Sony refuses to divulge the price of the downloadable version of Warhawk. The company will release a Blu-ray retail version with extras for $59.
When asked by 1UP how much the online download would cost, Sony's Dave Karraker said that while the company has yet to unveil a download price, they would be announcing one soon on Sony's PlayStation blog.
"Response to date from those in the Warhawk beta has been outstanding, so we think it will do very well," Karraker said. "We will be pricing it to match what we are delivering in terms of graphics, gameplay, fun-factor and repeat playability, which we think is quite high."
Asked specifically whether the game would cost an anticipated $30, Karraker replied, "[We] can't confirm anything on the price until it is public."
On May 16, 2007, Sony announced that two versions of Warhawk would be made available as a multiplayer-only combat experience; a 'Basic' game-only edition available via the PlayStation Store, and a Collector's Edition available on Blu-ray which is said to feature extra content such as behind-the-scenes interviews, concept art, and trailers in addition to a Bluetooth headset for VOIP chat.
Warhawk takes optional advantage of the PS3's motion-sensing controller when flying aircraft. It features 32-player online battles with the ability to have four-player split screen on one PS3.
The game is scheduled for an August 28 release.
