One of the earliest next-gen games to be announced still hasn't hit store shelves, and it won't until next year. Dark sector is now scheduled for release next January 22nd, 2008 for Europe. No word on release dates for other regions.

D3Publisher of Europe Ltd. (D3PE), a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, has announced its highly anticipated Dark Sector title for PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360 will be released across Europe on January 22nd, 2008.

Developed by acclaimed developer Digital Extremes, co-creators behind the award-winning Epic Game’s Unreal franchise, Dark Sector is an all-new and original action-thriller that offers players a dark, gritty experience packed with fast action, incredible superpowers and an engaging story. In conjunction with this announcement, D3PE is also launching a newly revamped website for the game. Players can now access www.darksector.com for development blogs, exclusive assets, the latest news updates and more on the game.

“Digital Extremes is well-known for successfully pushing the boundaries of both game design and technology and Dark Sector promises to be one of the most intense gaming experiences to date,” said Suzanne Sutton, PR and Marketing Manager for D3PE. “We look forward to delivering Dark Sector to fans across Europe early next year and until then, are providing fans a ring-side seat to stay in touch with the game through the official website at www.darksector.com.”
