Game Director Dylan Jobe’s updated Playstation.blog with an announcement that the Warhawk Booster Pack, entitled “Omega Dawn,” is finished, save for some last minute testing. In the post, he gushes like a mother proud of her straight-A child over the expansion and let’s slip just how much it will cost you.

Omega Dawn’s key content consists of a new nighttime (technically early “dawn,” hence the pack name) map called “Omega Factory” (seen below) and the KT-424 Combat Dropship, a vehicle that apparently sprung out of the idea of having “multiplayer boss battles.” Like a flying tank, the new dropship sports some thick armor, enough gun turrets for all the infrantry riding inside, and the ability to carry ground vehicles across the map. I can already imagine some crazy broadside battles in the sky!

What’s great is that although the new map is tailored for dropship use (some areas can only be accessed by it), all of the other levels will feature a new, expanded layout to take advantage of it, as well.

Several other tweaks may also come along with the expansion, which Jobe says will run about $7.99. Since it hasn’t technically “gone gold” yet, he’s reluctant to give a firm date for its release on PSN, but cites that it’s still on track for some time in December.

With all the programming they have done for this expansion I feel they should add a little bit more. Sh** ial take what they give for that reasonable of a price.
