Some good news from the official PlayStation Blog on their North American site- Warhawk has officially gone Gold and is now in production for release on August 28. This comes directly from Dylan Jobe, Game Director.

He gives some other bits of information. The game will be priced at $39.99 US for the PSN download or, for those wanting the Blu-Ray disc version, it can be had for $59.99 US. The retail version includes expanded video content and a JABRA bluetooth headset. Both versions will be available simultaneously.

A bit of news for those that were in the beta test. After looking through all the stats they have settled on who they feel are the top 100 players. This was ultimately determined using the Bonus Points as it covered all play modes, levels, weapons, etc.

These 100 people are going to have a surprise coming in the mail, a "top beta testers" award. Those players will each be getting a copy of the Warhawk box art signed by the entire team PLUS a Warhawk Wings pin! Copy the URL below to have a look for yourselves:

Nice bit of a bonus, I'd say. i know there were a few here at AP that were in on the beta- if you are one of the lucky few, congrats!
