Warhawk flies out of launch window

The unexpected return of PSone's Warhawk - now fitted out in a huge retro-future war zone where you can fly anywhere you're needed to turn the tide of the war - will be happening a little later than we'd expected, with its release now officially delayed until the summer of next year.
