Ignition Entertainment and Zombie Studios have announced Blacklight: Tango Down, a near-future first-person shooter promising triple-A military shooter action in a downloadable package.

Blacklight: Tango Down will be available summer 2010 through Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network and for PC.

“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.”

Blacklight: Tango Down is described as a fast-paced first person shooter based in a new fictional universe called Blacklight. The game has been developed using Unreal Engine 3.

The multiplayer shooter promises numerous game types, including traditional formats like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Control Point, with other modes to be announced at a later date. Players can also look forward to deep customisation features, altering and upgrading their character and weapons through experience gained on the battlefield.
