Blacklight: Tango Down Sequel To Be Free-To-Play
Zombie Studios has announced that their upcoming Blacklight: Tango Down sequel, will be free-to-play when it launches.
With only the name "Blacklight" for now, the sequel's main content will be free but, of course, premium content will be made available for purchasing.
In an interview with BigDownload, Zombie's CEO Mark Long said;
“The full game will be free along with premium content that can be purchased in-game. Blacklight will feature a large number of improvements based on the player feedback we’ve gotten. And we hope going free-to-play will close that loop so we can respond even faster to player preferences."
“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.”
Long also stated that the upcoming sequel will contain new gameplay, weapons, levels, items, and more. The game will utilize Epic's Unreal Engine 3. “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.”
No release date or publisher have been announced.
