Update 2: Ignition Entertainment has confirmed that BlackLight: Tango Down will in-fact release onto XBLA as expected on 7 July.

Update: Microsoft has since withdrawn the date of 7 July from their press release. An Ignition rep has told Joystiq, "There's still no confirmed release date for Blacklight. We saw all the posts saying it's the 7th ... but we really don't know if that will be the date. We should know later this week when the official launch will be. Officially, we are saying 'summer' until further notice."

Original Story: Zombie Studios' XBLA multiplayer FPS Blacklight: Tango Down is prepping for launch next week, 7 July, when everybody everywhere can throw something called "digi-grenades" at each other for the low price of 1200 MSP.

The game is set in a near-future Eastern Europe, in some shabby former Soviet state. But who cares about the story, it's all about the deathmatch.
