Capcom will release Dark Void on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system and PC in North America on 19 January, 2010 and across Europe on 22 January, 2010.
Dark Void centers on Will, a pilot who crash lands in the Bermuda Triangle following a routine mission. Will wakes up to find himself in The Void, an alternate world resembling a primitive earth where aliens with superior technology are planning to take over civilization.

"As a game, Dark Void was developed with a wide-screen mentality – a world full of adventure presented in cinematic scope and scale. Plan B recognized the potential of our newest property and are as excited about bringing Dark Void to life in cinemas as Capcom is to bring the interactive experience to home theaters," said Capcom Entertainment senior vice president licensing Germaine Gioia.
