Sony and Lightbox Interactive have deployed a fresh trailer for Starhawk, their upcoming third person shooter, this time focusing on the actual base building mechanics.

Starhawk offers gamers the chance to battle it out on an alien planet. But besides the regular shooting and combat mechanics, the game also allows players to build defenses and various structures in order to protect themselves alongside their base against the enemies.

In order to really show off this building mechanic, a fresh video has now been posted, which presents a gang of Rifters defending themselves against an Outcast war band.

In case the video piques your interest, don’t forget that the multiplayer beta for Starhawk is still available as a free download from the PlayStation Store on the PS3.

Get ready for Starhawk’s actual release on May 8.
