Capcom today announced the release date for Dark Void. The third-person vertical shooter will arrive on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in January 12, 2010 in North America and January 15, 2010 in Europe. Sci-fi shooter fans shouldn’t miss out on Dark Void.

About Dark Void, from Capcom:
“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 jet pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.”

Features include:
- Sci-Fi action/adventure combines aerial and on-foot combat for a totally unique third-person shooter experience.

- Will’s jetpack delivers total freedom of movement allowing players to race against UFOs in high-speed chases and rain death from above onto unsuspecting otherworldly foes

- Speed and scale unmatched by any other action title: send Will zipping through tight corridors and then out into immense canyons and futuristic geoscapes

- Gravity-defying vertical combat system, where moving up is the only way to bring your enemies down.

- Seamless transition between jetpack flight, ship-to-ship dog fighting and third-person shoot-‘em-up action all exists within the same level – not broken up into different “areas”.

- Unique grip system that allows the players to scale walls by jumping from surface to surface and hijack UFO’s while in mid-air.

- Huge bosses that require fast reflexes and aerial barnstorming manoeuvres to defeat

- Developed by Airtight Studios, a new group featuring team members from the Crimson Skies series of video games.
