Today, Ignition Entertainment and Zombie Studios announced a full-fledged cooperative component for Blacklight: Tango Down. The cooperative mode, entitled “Black Ops”, is in addition to the already robust line-up of competitive multiplayer game modes.

“With Blacklight: Tango Down, we are raising the bar for what gamers can expect from DLC, with the kind of experience that traditionally is found in AAA retail game,” said Ajay Chadha from Ignition Entertainment.

“Cooperative play is a critical part of today’s multiplayer experience, and Blacklight: Tango Down will deliver on this fun and dramatic way to play alongside three of your friends,” continued Chadha. “This kind of elite content is what separates Blacklight: Tango Down from other DLC and makes it the most fully featured downloadable-only shooter available on any console or PC.”

The Black Ops missions will “increase the deep replay value of the game by offering upgrades, character growth and more to those who choose to take the cooperative battle.” Blacklight: Tango Down is expected to release this summer through Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC.

Ignition Entertainment has confirmed that King of Fighters XII will be coming to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this Summer. The game has had its up and downs as of lately with one of the longest development cycles for any series title to date, but that is okay. Only if we can get a great game at the end.

But, with time we’ll be able to see how the game has been rebuild from the ground up – with an all new engine and a in-depth improved character sprites. Speaking of, you can view the trailer here.
