A couple of months ago we reported on plans to launch yet another free-to-play first person shooter. The Korean-developed game Blackshot is being published in the US by Outspark and is scheduled to be officially launched later this year. However, plans for a closed beta test have now been announced.

Sign-ups are now being taken for the closed beta on the game's official web site and the beta is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, Sept. 30. The beta will give its selected players access to four characters, 17 weapons, seven maps, three gameplay modes and over 30 types of armor. New screenshots from the game have also been released and we have reproduced them here.
