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.

This new trailer shows real players experiencing Shattered Horizon’s
zero gravity combat. The ISS, Flipside and Arc levels are shown in a
trailer for the first time and the player’s HUD, the three grenade
types, scoped shots and melee attacks are also revealed.

“Shattered Horizon is this year’s most original first-person shooter,”
said Jukka Mäkinen, Head of Futuremark Games Studio. “In a sea of
sequels, Shattered Horizon offers PC gamers a fresh and innovative
shooter with intense zero gravity combat that cannot be found in other
games.”
