Release
The game was released on October 24, 2005 for the Xbox and on March 27, 2006 for the PC. The game contains a number of software bugs, which have never been officially patched; these bugs are generally intermittent, and restoring from an earlier saved game can be enough to get past them. There is an unofficial patch available that fixes some glitches and lowers the game's overall difficulty level. The Xbox version officially compatible with the Xbox 360 in certain regions.
Two more Call of Cthulhu games were announced by Headfirst Productions: Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness and Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End. Due to the very long development cycle of Dark Corners of the Earth, which was originally announced to be released in 2001, the both titles were being developed alongside it. They got canceled when the company failed to find a new publisher for them in 2006, resulting in the bankruptcy and liquidation of Headfirst.

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
