Our launch day extravaganza just keeps getting bigger and better!

We're pleased to announce that MLG has taken a huge interest in Starhawk, and plans to add our new game into their tournament lineup effective immediately!  They're kicking things off with a brand new multiplayer contest with over $20,000 of prizes, including a specially designed Starhawk PlayStation 3, badges, and a whole lot more.

To register for the tournament, head over to the official sign up page and get yourself squared away. 

Rock on!

Just a reminder, we're going to be hosting our second Livestream event tonight! It's your chance to preview the single player, co-op, and multiplayer modes of Starhawk before the game lands on your local retailer's shelf tomorrow morning, and we'll be bringing out some heavy hitters for the show tonight.

For starters, our event is being hosted by Dylan Jobe, the President of LightBox Interactive. You'll get to hear him talking about the game and providing commentary on our play session.  There's going to be a giveaway for our fans on Twitter (details during the show tonight) as well as a few big announcements during the show.  If you're a competitive gamer, you won't want to miss this!

Our Livestream event runs from 5pm - 8pm Pacific Time (0000 - 0300 GMT) this evening, and you can find it online at mlg.tv

See you tonight, and Rock on!!

There are just a few more days left until Starhawk hits retail shelves, and while we're racing to bring you a bunch of new content (and before you ask, YES, we're still working on that one video you've been waiting on ), we're especially proud to be able to offer you not just one, but TWO separate livestream events between now and our launch on May 8th.  The staffers at Sony and Lightbox have been gracious enough to offer to participate in these two awesome previews of Starhawk's multiplayer, where you'll get to see what the final multiplayer, single player, and co-op modes look like, have a chance to win prizes, listen to our smack talk, and more!

Here are the details for our two events:

Both events are hosted at LBI's Ustream channel, which you can find at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/lightboxinteractive

Saturday, May 5th

Our live gameplay session on Saturday takes place between 6pm - 9pm Pacific Time (0100 - 0400 GMT).  We'll have commentary provided by LightBox Interactive staffers, and our game mics will be on so that you can listen in on our chatter.  The focus on Saturday is on multiplayer, and you may end up seeing one of our modes/maps that wasn't in the beta... and maybe get a surprise or two as well! You'll also be able to watch the livestream through PlayStation Home on Saturday! 

Monday, May 7th

Our live gameplay session on Monday takes place between 5pm - 8pm Pacific Time (0000 - 0300 GMT).  We'll have commentary provided by our head honcho himself, Dylan Jobe, who will be co-hosting and providing you with guided previews of our Single Player, Co-Op, and Multiplayer modes in the game.  We're also going to be offering a Twitter giveaway to those who re-tweet during the event (details during the show) and we're hoping to provide this event through PlayStation Home as well.  And be sure and tune in for a very special announcement that our competitive gamers won't want to miss. 

With just five days left until we hit store shelves in North America (and a few extra days for our friends in Europe and Japan), we're extremely excited to share Starhawk with you and let you see what we've been working on over the past few years.  But until then, we hope these livestream events give you a chance to take part in the fun and help quench your thirst until your own copy is sitting in your house.

Rock on!

We're counting down the days until the Starhawk launch, and we have all kinds of cool new content to share with you throughout the week! 

Today, we bring you a brand new video featuring Dylan Jobe as he talks about the Limited Edition content.  You've probably seen our posts in the past which list off all the cool items you get with this exclusive pack, but now is your chance to actually see the bonuses in action!  You'll get a look at the additional Homeworld, the added co-op mission, and the new skins.

If you haven't reserved your copy of Starhawk yet, the Limited Edition is still available for pre-order at GameStop so be sure and grab your copy now while supplies last.  Once the Limited Edition copies are all gone, we won't be reprinting them, so grab yours before it's too late!

Hi everyone!  This is just a "Heads Up" that the Starhawk public beta will be closing tonight.  At 12am Pacific Time, the servers will shut down and you won't be able to access the game anymore.

We hope you enjoyed your time in the beta and we continue to welcome your constructive comments in the forum.  And if you need another Starhawk fix, don't forget to check us out on G4 tonight and tomorrow night!

Update:  After the strong support we had here and on Facebook, we'll be closing the servers TOMORROW night at midnight instead.  That's March 27th at 12am Pacific. 

Exciting news for anyone attending South by Southwest this weekend! Not only will we be there in full force showing off the game, but I’m excited to announce that we’ll also be debuting Starhawk co-op gameplay!

Interested? Just grab a friend (or two) and come down to the SXSW ScreenBurn anytime between Friday, March 9 and Monday, March 12. We’ll have plenty of game stations setup running co-op on the map Echo and we’ll even be tossing out free Starhawk t-shirts to everyone who visits. Then, come Monday, we’ll be hosting a Starhawk multiplayer tournament to find Austin’s most talented Hawk!

There’s sure to be something for everyone, so come out to the SXSW ScreenBurn at the Palmer Events Center and be one of the first to experience Starhawk co-op awesomeness!

We saw this on YouTube the other day and have to say, it's pretty impressive! A new player sits down and takes some time to play through the public beta for Starhawk and offers some cool suggestions for newbies as well.

If you're a new player looking for some strategy tips, this is a great place to start!

If you're just joining our Starhawk beta today, you might be curious as to how the controller buttons map to the game.  Before you get started in our rich world, feel free to review our controller layouts and get a sense for how to control your character, whether he's aerial, in a vehicle, or just running and gunning.

If you're a seasoned player of the beta, we'd love it if you'd share some of your tips with the new players.  Feel free to add them in the comments below!
