Capcom today announced that its sci-fi themed action-adventure effort Dark Void will ship to North American retailers on January 12, with a European release following on the 15th.

Featuring a mix of on-foot and aerial combat sequences backed by a futuristic setting, the title was originally scheduled to drop this fall, until Capcom got cold feet with big-hitters like Halo 3: ODST Modern Warfare 2 on the horizon and decided to back out, delaying it to “avoid competition.”
