LightBox Interactive president Dylan Jobe has confirmed there'll be a beta for PS3 shooter Starhawk.
He also revealed the game will support split screen play, but not PlayStation Move.
Announced last week, the game will feature the same third-person shooter experience from Warhawk in a variety of new set space settings.
Players will be able to create the battlefield on the fly using the game's 'Build & Battle' system, allowing them to call down offensive and defensive structures while in combat.
While Warhawk was a multiplayer-only experience, Starhawk will also feature a full single-player campaign which follows Emmett Graves and Cutter, a couple of miners fighting an enemy known as the Outcasts.
We went hands-on with the game last week. See what we thought in our Starhawk preview.

I can not bloody wait... Seriously I might quit my job and become a full time bum again for this.
One problem though the blu ray has gone on my PS3 so I was thinking of going the CFW route to tide me over until I can afford a new one. Then again if this is a PSN title who needs s**tty blu ray and I can also play MAG.... I just don't know.
