Delisting
Dark Void and Dark Void Zero were delisted on Steam on June 27th, 2022. The delisting coincided with the removal of Flock!, also published by Capcom, that had been featured in an exploit made public earlier that week to generate free Steam keys. It is likely that this same exploit led to the delisting of both Dark Void titles.
All three titles unexpectedly returned to Steam in 2023 with Flock! reappearing first on March 15th and the Dark Void titles on June 2nd. No explanation was given for the relisting but it is assumed that the exploit was addressed at the time. Capcom next announced on April 24th, 2024 that all three titles would again be delisted just weeks later on May 8th.
Capcom will be discontinuing digital sales of [GAME NAME] on Steam Store on May 8th 5:30PM PDT. Customers who have purchased the title prior to its delisting date may still be able to enjoy the game into the future depending on their PC operating system’s ability to continue running the game.
Capcom Steam Store Page Update – April 24, 2024
Yet again no explanation was given but some discussion on the Steam Community forums suggested that ongoing issues with the SecuROM DRM and Capcom’s inability to generate valid keys for the releases going forward were to blame.
About the Game
Dark Void™ is a sci-fi action-adventure game that combines an adrenaline-fueled blend of aerial and ground-pounding combat. Set in a parallel universe called “The Void”, players take on the role of Will, a pilot dropped into incredible circumstances within the mysterious Void. This unlikely hero soon finds himself swept into a desperate struggle for survival, joining forces with a rebel human group called The Survivors. Trapped in the Void, these resistance fighters are battling to hold off a mysterious alien race that plans to threaten Earth.
Dark Void’s unique combination of jet pack-booster aerial dog fighting and third-person combat brings a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience. Taking 3D action to a whole new level, Dark Void’s unique vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and hurl enemies to their doom, bringing a whole new sense of tension and thrill to the player. Will is also equipped with a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.
