Dark Summit set for release

THQ has announced the shipment of its mission-based snowboarding game Dark Summit for the Microsoft Xbox. The game will be available for the launch of the Xbox console. Dark Summit, which is being developed by Radical Entertainment, will also be released for the Sony PlayStation 2 on November 27.

"As a day-and-date launch title for the Xbox and a top-quality release for the PlayStation 2, Dark Summit is an original THQ title that showcases the power of both systems,'' said Alison Locke, executive vice president of North American Publishing at THQ. "Dark Summit features groundbreaking game design that truly expands the genre and delivers a fresh take on what's expected from the sport of snowboarding.''

A version of Dark Summit will also be released for the Nintendo GameCube early next year.
