In its financial report for the company's first quarter, Capcom announced it has decided to postpone the release of Dark Void "to avoid competition with releases of major titles of other companies." The publisher said it plans to release the game during the fiscal fourth quarter, that is some time between fiscal January 1, 2010, and March 31, 2010. The company also revealed it expects to sell 2 million copies of the game.
Dark Void is a sci-fi action-adventure game that combines an adrenaline-fuelled blend of aerial and ground-pounding combat. Set in a parallel universe called "The Void," players take on the role of Will, a pilot dropped into incredible circumstances within the mysterious Void. Dark Void's unique combination of jetpack-booster aerial dog fighting and third-person combat creates a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience.
Taking 3D action to a whole new level, Dark Void's unique vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and hurl enemies to their doom, bringing a whole new sense of tension and thrill to the player. Will is also equipped with a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.
