Publisher Iceberg Interactive and Toronto-based game developer L3O Interactive announce that they have struck a publishing agreement for the 4x turn-based strategy game ‘Horizon’ for PC. Horizon is a game of galactic conquest and is set in the not-so-distant future, where humans have just begun venturing beyond the edges of the solar system, only to find that the universe is far from empty! The publishing deal includes worldwide digital rights and boxed retail rights for Western Europe, Russia, Australia and other territories. The game has been in development for several years, with L3O picking up the pace last year, and is currently scheduled for a summer 2013 release.


Horizon is a grand space strategy game of galactic conquest in which you are in control of humanity’s destiny. You will explore deep space, find new frontiers and discover alien artifacts hidden on long-abandoned planets. You will also learn more about the galaxy as you come into contact with 10 other species, each with their own unique culture, history and schemes. A fully interactive galaxy allows you to navigate open space between stars and planets. Patrol your borders and, when the need arises, defend your territory by engaging in ship-to-ship tactical combat. Develop new colonies and then watch them become galactic centres for trade, industry and science - and of course military bases, outposts and shipyards to build your battle ships. Push your empire to its limits and go beyond the known horizon!

– Colony management will now require more decision-making and allow for specialized worlds
A race report view has been added that keeps a history of major events relating to the race
Additional story missions have been added
12 new Human ship designs added
Improved UI and higher resolution animation scenes
Galaxy generation with many more stars for bigger and longer gameplay sessions
