New Dark Horizons Title!

You read that right, Dark Horizons Lore, the cult game that was done oh so many years ago is getting a sequel that will be released this winter!

This is something that I have known about for a while now, being that I am involved in the project and all, but in case you missed the formal announcement that Adrian made on the MGT Blogs here are some rough details that I am allowed to mention:

- This is an entirely new product, not a mod or add-on. The reason for doing this as a new product is primarily so that we can utilize all the new code and resources that we have developed since Lore was released 3 years ago!
- The game will have both a single player and a multi player portion to it.
- The game will utilize Pixel Shaders throughout. This means that there will be an increase in the required system specifications so that we can push this graphical "oomph" out.
- The game will feature Infantry (operating in Power Armor), Mechanized Assault Vehicles (MAVs) and other vehicles of war (ie. tanks, transport jets, etc.). All of this will be brand new art created specificly for this sequel and will further the story of the Eastern Confederation invasion of North America.
- The game will be developed for PC as well as a simultaneous Mac and Linspire/Linux release.
- Projected completion date is December 2006. There will be a closed alpha test and an open beta test period.

There is plenty more to come, but that is all that I can talk about at the moment.
