Capcom has revealed first details on Dark Void, a sci-fi action adventure game that incorporates “fast-paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action“.
Although Capcom hasn’t revealed what platforms the game will be appearing on, it said the game was scheduled for a winter 2008 release.
While gameplay details are thin on the ground, Capcom did reveal information about the game’s story. In a statement it said: “Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension. Millions of years ago, the minions of that power found their way to the 3rd planet of an unremarkable yellow star. Ours. The race they created came to call their masters “The Watchers.” For millennia we knew them as gods and served their dark purposes, but a few humans developed extraordinary powers. They were known as the Adepts and they rose up, banishing The Watchers into a parallel universe, where they’ve manipulated and schemed from afar. Until now.“
Dark Void is being developed by Airtight Games, whose core team worked on Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. We’ll bring you more detail on Capcom’s new IP as soon as we have it.
