Have an urge for a new, near-future, downloadable first person shooter? Maybe. Nonetheless, Ignition Entertainment, alongside Zombie Studios are planning to bring Blacklight: Tango Down to various digital distribution methods this summer. The game will put players into a fictional universe known as Blacklight, and it’s said to offer “AAA-quality milatary shooter action.” They’ve even mentioned a possible film and comic tie-in (and boy do us gamers love comics)!
“We’re excited to be working on a gripping new franchise that will deliver the intense action, thoughtful tactics and in-depth strategies of today’s best multiplayer shooters immersed in an all new universe that gamers will really sink their teeth into,” said Ajay Chadha, Head of Worldwide Publishing, Ignition Entertainment. “Blacklight: Tango Down is set to change the way gamers view the possibilities of downloadable content because it will offer shooter fans the top quality, deep content and exciting experience that they are used to finding in a retail product but in a downloadable package.”
“We could not ask for a better partner than Ignition,” said Mark Long, of Zombie. “Their digital distribution focus is visionary. It matches the aspirations we have for this franchise which already include a feature film and comic.”
Tango Down will feature all the traditional multiplayer modes that you’d expect from an FPS, and there’s apparently more to be announced in the lead up to the game’s release. On top of that, there’ll be some pretty in-depth customisation; with many options and upgrades for both your character and your weapons.
That’s about all there is for now, in the meantime, here’s some rather pretty looking screenshots…
