Blacklight: Tango Down

Weapon Tags info to be gleaned.

Glendale, CA - July 29, 2010 - BlackLight: Tango Down, the fast paced, action-oriented DLG which launched on XBLA and PC, and soon to be on PSN, today released the stats attributed to 100 of the in-game 'Weapon Tags.' These tags are earned through battle and add perks giving gamers an extra edge in movement, health, speed and HRV duration when added to their weapon. Until now, the exact attributes for each of the 100 earned tags have been unknown.

Additionally, to commemorate this deadly and useful information getting into the hands of fans, Ignition Entertainment will be releasing never-before-seen 'Weapon Tags' of 25 national flags from across the world. These flags not only provide a sense of national pride, but they will also up gamers' stats and add to the trillions of weapons customizations available in the game. These 'Weapon Tags' will be distributed in the next five weeks, five each week, through the BlackLight: Tango Down Twitter account - @playtangodown. Gamers must follow to win and each code can be redeemed across all platforms by accessing the 'Unlock Code' option in the game's main menu.

ABOUT BLACKLIGHT: TANGO DOWN

Available this summer on XBLA, PSN, and PC, BlackLight: Tango Down is a fast-paced, action-oriented first-person shooter that marks the first release of what will be a multi-platform entertainment franchise. Beyond the video game, a BlackLight feature film from Twentieth Century Fox and comic book series are currently in development. Designed to bring a fun, absorbing, and high quality AAA multiplayer experience to DLG venues, the game exists in a future between contemporary and sci-fi shooters - part Blade Runner and part Call of Duty.

Developed by Zombie Studios, BlackLight: Tango Down takes place 25 years into the future. The player takes control of an elite covert ops team that is sent after missing American Colonel Klein and his personal BlackLight team. The game will feature four single player/co-op levels that support up to four players at once, 12 multiplayer maps, seven game types and literally millions of weapons customization combinations. As the team advances through regions that consist of old world architecture over laden with ubiquitous modern holographic advertising, the trigger based dynamic AI offers an intense and varied experience every time the game is played.
