Paradox Interactive has announced that Dark Horizon, their upcoming space combat game from developer Quazar Studios, has gone gold. The publisher revealed that the game will ship out in the US on schedule on September 23 with a European launch on September 26. The game will be released both in retail stores and via the Gamersgate download service.

As we have reported previously, Dark Horizon is set in the same universe as Quazar's last title Tarr Chronicles, which was released by CDV in 2007. Dark Horizon will have 22 single player space combat missions with some RPG elements in a storyline where apparently an alien race with a massive fleet is about to destroy the universe. There's no word yet if a demo for the game will be released.
