In this multiplayer first-person shooter for PC teams of players experience realistic zero gravity combat surrounded by the broken remains of orbital infrastructure and the millions of asteroids now encircling the Earth.

Appealing to everyone who has ever dreamed of going into space Shattered Horizon puts the player in the spacesuit of a survivor from the Moon mining operation or one of the astronauts trapped on the battered International Space Station.

Jukka Mkinen, Head of Futuremark Games Studio, said, We are excited to reveal the first details of Shattered Horizon. Fans of 3DMark have been asking us to make a game for many years. Were working hard to create something new, different and very, very fun.
