Dark Void is a yet-to-be-released sci-fi shooter coming from Capcom and it’s already getting a movie made. The game is developed by Airtight games and follows the character of William Agustus Grey as he ends up in another universe after crashing his cargo vessel in the Bermuda Triangle.
The story is about Grey and the humans he meets in this parallel world fighting against the “Watchers,” aliens who were banished to this realm only to return and use humans as slaves, acting as gods. What makes the game really unique is the combat system which takes place on the surface and in the air where you’ll be able to use cover either from the top or bottom -- a vertical cover system usable with your jetpack.
The game is now getting some major attention with Reliance BIG Entertainment and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Productions company set to adapt it into a feature film with Pitt starring as the protagonist. You can check out the game trailer for an idea of what to expect.
