Shadowgrounds was originally known as Preyground but the name was changed due to issues with U.S. based developer 3D Realms. "We changed the name because 3D Realms told us that they are again working on Prey, a first-person shooter originally announced in 1997", says Frozenbyte CEO Lauri Hyvarinen and continues: "We respect 3D Realms. And we don't want Duke to kick our butts."

The new home for Shadowgrounds is www.shadowgroundsgame.com. The first ever teaser trailer for the game is featured on the website, showcasing the game’s high-octane action sequences. In addition, the website also has new screenshots, a comprehensive weapon database, forums and a soundtrack sample.

Lauri Hyvarinen says: "In the coming months, we will be revealing more information about the game and its features, including the RPG-like weapon
upgrade system that adds a new level of tactics to the action genre. Ultimately, we look forward to delivering the game to triggerhappy gamers worldwide in September."
