Shattered Horizon, the upcoming zero-g FPS from Futuremark, has had a release date of November 4th announced today. It will be available via Steam for a mere $19.95. In addition, there is a 10% pre-order discount.

Also announced today were support for dedicated servers and post-launch support. Futuremark will host dedicated servers in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand at launch, with server code being made available shortly after retail launch. In addition, much like Valve’s Team Fortress 2, Futuremark has committed to ongoing free content updates via DLC. Specifically mentioned were new levels and features.

Shattered Horizon is shaping up to look like a killer FPS–high quality graphics, innovative gameplay, support from the developer, and a low price.

26 Oct 2009 ~ 5:15pm Cliff_Forster I hope people support it at $19.99 in a way that perhaps motivates other developers to make their content available at that kind of pricing. I was going to pass on this one, but at $19.99 I am going to have to jump in.

I wonder how the 5850 is going to handle this coupled with the phenom II X3 720?

26 Oct 2009 ~ 11:51pm pigflipper Oh, I know it will be able to handle it, I just can't wait to get my hands on it and see just how far I can push things while keeping the game playable.

You're right!

It's a shame I won't be able to play it. I'll be stuck with an X800 for the foreseeable future.
