Paradox Interactive has announced the release of Dark Horizon, a stark and atmospheric space combat simulation that aims to hurl gamers through an action-packed adventure that only space could 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 features 22 missions, laced with special features such as full ship customization, original weapon creation, joystick support, and several modes of combat and is scheduled to ship worldwide in the Fall of 2008.
