Blacklight: Retribution now available on Steam with Portal-themed weapon tags
Valve's IP proliferation continues
Perfect World Entertainment announced today that Blacklight: Retribution has officially launched on Steam. The F2P shooter has received high marks from critics thus far, and is part of a new wave of games that are helping to redefine the formerly shoddy reputation of F2P.
Blacklight: Retribution first launched back in April, and is now coming to Steam for the first time. As an incentive for all the new players that will doubtlessly be exposed to BL:R through Steam, Perfect World is offering a Portal-themed weapon tag as a free gift to anyone who reaches level 5.
Weapon tags are small customization options for weapon loadouts in BL:R. They're essentially like those little ornaments that people hang on their rearview mirrors. The tags look like little orange portals that hang on your gun.
"We're excited to make Blacklight: Retribution available to all the PC gamers using Steam," said Clifton Chu, Product Manager at Perfect World Entertainment. "The level of competition is going to be raised from intense to cut-throat with the influx of new Steam players." Learn more on the official site.
