Capcom summons Dark Void

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Oct 19, 2007 2:02 am PT

Action game mixing on-foot, midair, and vertical combat to hit unnamed platforms in winter '08.

Already this week, Capcom has revealed that it will be reviving two classic franchises with Street Fighter IV and Bionic Commando. However, the Japanese publisher isn't just about rehashing the old, given that today Capcom announced Dark Void, a new action game slated to hit unnamed platforms next winter.

Dark Void trailer

Peer into the Dark Void.

In Dark Void, humanity finds itself facing a powerful, cosmic threat known as "The Watchers," a godlike alien race that a group of humans managed to banish to an alternate universe after having developed superpowers. Needless to say, The Watchers have now returned. Although gameplay details are still sparse, Capcom is looking to take a unique track with Dark Void by offering "fast-paced vertical combat mixed with midair and on-foot action."

No stranger to midair action, Airtight Games is developing the game for Capcom. Dark Void will be Airtight's first project, but the studio includes several key members of the now-defunct FASA Studios team, which worked on the acclaimed Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge for the original Xbox. Microsoft officially shuttered FASA Studios last month.

    seems alright, we'll see what this is actually about. I'm sure capcom won't disappoint, since they have never done so.

    This will be a good game. If the guys from FASA are developing it, then it will be a good game. I like Crimson Skies, but really liked Shadowrun!

    The guy in the Dark Void trailer sounded like the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from Aqua Teen.

    A spiritual successor to Crimson Skies would be welcome.

    I like FASAs work... Shadowrun, basically got shafted as FASA was definately under pressure to release the game well prior to Halo 3 and it just didnt have enough content at the time... but its still extremely fun and I have never laughed so much playing a game

    It sounds ok, but... kinda lame at the same time.
