Moonshot Games, which was formed over a year ago by ex-Bungie employees, has announced its first game. Titled Fallen Frontier, the game is a 2D side-scrolling shooter. It features a sci-fi setting, plus single-player and co-op modes, so it seems like the developers have kept some of that Bungie DNA.

The team released an announcement trailer for the upcoming game, introducing the story and showing off some gameplay in action. That's all we know so far, though, as no pricing, release dates, or platforms have been announced.

Attendees of PAX East in Boston this weekend can play the game for themselves. Moonshot will be in booth 759, giving the crowd hands-on time with Fallen Frontier.

  Looks like fun. The animations almost look procedural or something. Maybe they are using a 3D engine for faux 2D? Reminds me of Paper Moon oddly enough. http://blurst.com/paper-moon/
