Blacklight: Tango Down is a video game by Zombie Studios and published by Ignition Entertainment. The game was released on July 7, 2010 on Xbox 360 as a downloadable title, and will be released on Microsoft Windows on July 14. It is set to be released on the PlayStation 3 around six weeks after the Xbox 360's release.
Zombie is planning to make Blacklight a multimedia franchise that will include the video game, a feature film, and a trilogy of comic books. The idea was concepted by Zombie executives which later pitched the idea to several film and comic book production companies. The film rights were immediately bought by Fox Atomic to create a film adaptation of the franchise. Fox Atomic's comic subsidiary, Fox Atomic Comics, was also to be creating the Blacklight comics, but after the closing of Fox Atomic, the trans-media rights have been purchased by Imagine Entertainment.The film, comic books, and game will not share the same storylines, but tell different stories in the Blacklight universe at different time periods.
Gameplay
Blacklight: Tango Down is an online multiplayer first person shooter with an experience system similar to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, yet very unique in its own ways. The game contains traditional modes such Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Control Point, with other modes being announced in the build up to launch. The game makes use of its near-future setting by offering HRV (Hyper Reality Visor) that allow players to see through walls, and digi-grenades that counter other players' visors.
The game features an experience system lets the player rank up through 70 levels. Weapon customizations will unlock as the player gains skill and experience points and will include more basic add-ons like sniper scopes as well as more complex enhancements, such as improved accuracy. The weapon customization in Blacklight: Tango Down has the most customization features out of any First-Person Shooter.
