Paradox Interactive announced today plans to enter the space combat genre with Dark Horizon which they described in the press release to be in the tradition of the Chris Roberts-designed games like Wing Commander and Freelancer. The details on the game are scarce (there's not even word on the game's developer yet) but Paradox did say there will be features like ship customization, original weapon creation and joystick support. We hope to get more info on Dark Horizon (including some screenshots) before it's planned release date sometime in the third quarter.
