DARK Released Digitally on PC

While the official release date is still tomorrow, the folks at Kalypso have already released DARK, their vampire-themed action/stealth/RPG (though given the fact that in the press release they only talk about “RPG elements” I’m willing to bet it’s more action/stealth than role-playing game) on various digital delivery services including Steam, GreenManGaming and GamersGate. Check out the launch trailer:

Right now the game costs $39.99 in the US, but bizarrely, while it costs only â‚¬27.99 on the EU Steam store, both GreenManGaming and GamersGate’s EU storefronts have it at â‚¬44.99. Either way, here’s the official press release:
