"Closed beta is something we have been looking forward to for a long time," said Andrew Brown, Executive Producer, Perfect World Entertainment. "Blacklight Retribution features fast and tightly balanced gameplay, an insane arsenal of weaponry, state-of-the-art DirectX 11 graphics, and a level of player and weapon customizability rarely found in the genre. With closed beta, we finally have an opportunity to share all this and more with the community. Game on."

In Blacklight Retribution , players battle in near-future combat zones utilizing customized gear and weaponry to takedown opponents online.
