HELSINKI, FINLAND – OCTOBER 26, 2009 – Futuremark® Games Studio today

announced that Shattered Horizon™, their multiplayer first-person
shooter for the PC, will be released on Wednesday 4 November, 2009. The
game will be available as a digital download from Steam, or direct from
the Shattered Horizon website at the suggested retail price of €19.95 /
$19.95 / £14.95. Gamers who pre-order get a 10 percent discount and will

Shattered Horizon is a multiplayer first person shooter that immerses
you in the cold reality of combat in space. Teams of players fight in
zero gravity to control hollowed-out asteroids, huge fragments of Moon
rock and the ruined remains of the International Space Station.
Shattered Horizon is exclusive to the PC and is also one of the first
games to require a DirectX 10 graphics card running under Windows Vista
or the recently released Windows 7.

Pre-order Offer: 10 percent off
Gamers who pre-order Shattered Horizon not only get a 10 percent
discount but will also be able to play and test new level packs before
they become available to everyone else.

Antti Summala, lead designer at Futuremark Games Studio explained,
“During our beta many game features, and even one whole level, were
added as a direct result of beta tester feedback. The process worked so
well that we have decided to continue it after launch. Gamers who
pre-order Shattered Horizon will join an elite group who will get early
access to help test and refine new levels to be released in future
content updates.”

Post launch support
Futuremark Games Studio has confirmed that Shattered Horizon will be
supported after launch with new levels and features being added to the
game through downloadable content packs. These expansions will be free
to all players.

Dedicated Servers
Shattered Horizon allows PC gamers to choose who and how they want to
play through dedicated servers run by the community. Futuremark Games
Studio will host dedicated servers for North America, Europe and
Australia and New Zealand at launch with the server code being made
available to everyone shortly afterwards.

Game server hosting companies, clan and e-sport communities, and
tournament and LAN party organisers can contact Futuremark Games Studio
for early access to server code via fgs [at] futuremark [dot] com.
