We regret to announce that the Australian Classification Board has refused to award Blacklight: Tango Down a rating in that territory. This is due to the fact that the title requires a permanent online connection as it is an online multiplayer game.
The ACB refuses to review and rate a title with such a requirement.
This decision by the ACB also precludes us releasing the game in New Zealand.
UTV Ignition Entertainment apologize to gamers in Australia and NZ who were looking forward to playing Blacklight: Tango Down, but the situation is beyond our control. It was always our intention to release the title in these regions, and should the ACB change their stance on such titles, we will do our utmost to bring the game to market in Australia and NZ.
