With Midway Chicago being sold to Warner, the team behind the open-world action game Hero lost all assets, code, art and everything else pertaining to it in the process.

Warhawk V1.4 to get free gameplay modes

Dylan Jobe has announced on the PlayStation Blog that a new update for Warhawk will be released on July 16, containing two new free gameplay modes called Collection and Hero.

Hero “is a team-based game mode in which one member of each team is randomly selected to be their team’s Epic Hero. Players score points for their team by killing the enemy Hero or by killing enemies while they’re the Hero. The team that reaches the score limit first (or has the most points when time runs out) wins the game.”

Collection “is like multi-flag CTF. There are 4 energy cores scattered around the map, generally positioned in the centre or between the two team’s main bases. Each team has a Reactor where Energy Cores are taken to score points.”
