Capcom delays Dark Void until 2010 News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Ellie Gibson

31 July, 2009

Capcom has pushed back the release of sci-fi adventure Dark Void until next year.

According to Joystiq, the company is hoping to avoid the Christmas rush by canning plans for an autumn release.

Instead, Dark Void will hit the shops in Capcom's fourth financial quarter. In other words, it'll be out within the first three months of 2010.

American shopkeepers had listed the game for a release on 22nd September - the same day as Halo: ODST.

"The move will be great for the game and for gamers," Capcom chap Chris Kramer stated. "Less competition in the market (curse you, Halo!), more time for polish."

Dark Void is in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Visit the gamepage for all your video, preview and screenshot-related needs.

So basically 'advoiding' the christmas 'rush' (read as: not wanting to be overshadowed by better titles) has lead to near enought EVERYTHING comming out at easter, which will probly then 'advoid the rush' till summer, then winter and oh look 2012!

Grow a pair and take the gamble at christmas!

That's a bit of a pity, I'm looking forward to this game.

At the rate titles are being delayed into 2010 to avoid "the crowded release season", the only three games that come out this year will be Halo: ODST, Forza 3 and Modern Warfare 2.

I'm getting that sinking feeling with this game. A voice in my head says "this might not be that good".

Basically Christmas is cancelled if you don't like Call of Duty.

Call of Duty's going to sell even at their silly price purely because no other bugger is releasing anything anywhere near it.

There are tons of major games still coming out this Christmas, just because there are a few games delayed (biggest being Bioshock and splinter cell), the rest of the AAA games all seem on target. I dont know why people are getting worried. Though I agree there does seem to be a LOT of games coming out in Feb-April next year, including platform exclusives etc.

Quite like the look of this game.
I understand everyone is terrified of MW2 but come on. Someone should tell these execs that consoles these days can play more than one game at a time. I own about 5.

In other news, Infinity Ward and Activision Blizzard uncorked the champagne in what has to be the biggest developers party of the year. "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 hasn't gone gold yet, and there's still much to do", CEO Roberto Kkotick says, "but we have confidence in the strengths of our IP and are sure it will perform strongly on the market, come November 10th. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go and cut the cake".
