Shattered Horizon Finally Gets Single Player – Now 50% Off On Steam

Hey PC gamers.  Remember that sweet outer space multiplayer FPS Futuremark made back in 2009 that crushed your DX10 PC?  Well now you can play it by yourself!!

Yes, I know this news would have been far more interesting a year ago, but with a dedicated community of players, it’s good to see that Futuremark, those crazy bastards who make the 3DMark benchmarks your PC hates so much, are still supporting their relatively awesome game.

Up until now, Shattered Horizon was a multiplayer only game, but with interest in the game declining and matches becoming harder to find, Futuremark has finally added bots to all modes as well as a new Last Stand mode.

So now if you want to float around space and shoot things, you can do so by yourself while you go “oooooh, ahhhh” and look at all the pretty environments.

The Shattered Horizon Last Stand pack is now free for all SH owners – go get it:

- Play all game types in single player mode with bots.
- Choose the number of bots and set the difficulty level.
- Play the new Last Stand game mode which pits a team of four against waves of increasingly difficult bot enemies.
- Last Stand mode can be played with bot team mates in single player, or with friends in online co-op.
- Server hosts can optionally add and configure bots for multiplayer games.
- Bots will leave a multiplayer game to make room for real players, and rejoin to make up team numbers.

Better yet, as the title of this article states, the game is now 50% off on Steam!!  <–CLICK ME

Remember, In space… it’s really hard to melee.

Float on over and land on this press release:

HELSINKI, FINLAND – April 4, 2011 – Futuremark® Games Studio today released a trailer showing the new features added to Shattered Horizon™, the zero gravity first-person shooter for PC, with the game’s latest content expansion. With the Last Stand update all game modes can now be played in single player with and against bots. The update also adds the new Last Stand game mode which pits a team of four against waves of increasingly difficult bot enemies. The Last Stand game mode can be played offline with bots or in online co-op with friends. Like all Shattered Horizon content updates released to date, the Last Stand pack is free for all players.

“Shattered Horizon’s multiplayer can be tough for new players. Not only do they have to learn the skills required for zero gravity combat, but they have to do so while going up against the game’s experienced community,” said Jaakko Haapasalo, Director of Futuremark Games Studio. “Now there’s an alternative. The Last Stand pack adds single player to all game modes making it the perfect way for new players to learn the game, practice to improve or just play for fun.”
