HELSINKI, FINLAND – NOVEMBER 16, 2009 – Futuremark® Games Studio today

In Shattered Horizon, a catastrophic explosion on the Moon has filled
near-Earth space with billions of tons of rocky debris. 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. The
Moonrise content pack includes four new levels set around the shattered
Moon, taking the fight deeper into space and showing a new side to the
conflict.

Although a release date for the Moonrise pack has not been announced,
players who pre-ordered Shattered Horizon will be invited to start
play-testing the new levels this week.

"Selected players will help us test the new Moonrise levels from a very
early stage," said Antti Summala, lead designer. "Level design for zero
gravity combat is a big challenge and we are looking forward to having
real players help us create new experiences that cannot be found in
other FPS games."
