FOR RELEASE 13:00 GMT (14:00 BST) MONDAY 19 OCTOBER
HELSINKI, FINLAND – OCTOBER 19, 2009 – Futuremark® Games Studio today released a new trailer showing the first in-game footage from Shattered Horizon™, their upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter for the PC. www.shatteredhorizon.com
In Shattered Horizon, a catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. Survivors on the Moon are forced into conflict with those trapped on the battered International Space Station. Teams of players fight in zero gravity to control the limited supplies that mean the difference between survival and death in the cold of space.
With simple and intuitive controls, players have complete freedom of movement making full use of the distinctive zero gravity environments to control the battle. Shattered Horizon rewards players with gameplay and tactics impossible in games constrained by gravity.
“Raid on Moondust” trailer
The first trailer for Shattered Horizon to show in-game footage, this new video shows two players working together to take control of an asteroid being mined in near-Earth space. Players use rocket packs to fly freely through space and can land on any surface, surprising opponents by attacking from unexpected angles.
“This new trailer shows Shattered Horizon’s realistic space setting and the player’s complete freedom of movement,” said Antti Summala, lead designer at Futuremark Games Studio. “FPS fans looking for a new multiplayer challenge this holiday should check out Shattered Horizon for an experience that is only possible in a game without gravity.”
