Publisher Iceberg Interactive and Toronto-based game developer L3O Interactive revealed 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.

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. You will be able to play Horizon in different galaxy sizes with huge sizes spanning over a hundred star systems and more than a thousand planets, design and customize your ships’ weapons and systems based on available technology and, take coordinated diplomatic and military actions with your allies against your enemies.
