Paradox Interactive today announced the development of Dark Horizon, a stark and atmospheric space combat Simulation game that aims to hurl its audience through an action-packed adventure, piloting your own ship through the perils that only space could have to offer.

"Dark Horizon follows along the same lines of classics like Wing Commander and Freelancer,and it will be a great addition to our portfolio this year," said Paradox Interactive Executive Vice President Fredrik Wester.

Dark Horizon is a plot-rich experience; 22 challenging missions, laced with special features such as full ship customization, original weapon creation, joystick support, and several modes of combat.

Dark Horizon is scheduled to ship worldwide during Q3, 2008.
