Blacklight Tango Down sequel to be free-to-play

Back In 2010 developer Zombie Studios released Blacklight: Tango Down, a downloadable futuristic first person shooter.  When the game was first released at the £10.00 Price tag or 1200 Microsoft points depending if you purchased on the PC or Xbox 360. At the time of the game’s release, Zombie’s CEO Mark Long stated that a sequel was already in the works.

Today the guys over at Big Download found out  that the sequel will have an even cheaper price; free.

It is odd why the sequel is going down the free-to-play route. Well Mr Long told Big Download "The free-to-play model is something we’ve been interested in since we first began working with Korean publishers four years ago. Free-to play is the model in Asia. It’s exploding in China growing fast in Europe and emerging here in Facebook and iOS games."

The sequel will have fresh content and will not reuse any of the existing content from the original Blacklight: Tango Down, according to Long.  The game will feature new weapons , levels, items and more. Mark Long  as has stated that  the sequel will use the latest version of Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 tech.

The Blacklight sequel does not yet have a release date or title or publisher as Long wouldn’t comment on who would be publishing the sequel.
