"Dark Void was gonna be a fall [release] and truthfully, being candid, the date it was supposed to ship was the day [as] Halo 3: ODST," explained a laughing Christian Svensson, Capcom's VP of strategic planning and business development, during an interview at CES last week. "They're [Microsoft] like, 'ta-da, we're shipping, I don't know, I forget what it was, Sept. 27 or whatever' and we said 'okay, sounds like a perfect time to move Dark Void!"

"Truthfully, we put the extra couple months [to good use]," he said. "We did the PhysX integration on the PC side of things; some of that stuff was not necessarily going to be there at launch, now it is. We put that time to good use, for sure."
