New Third-Person Shooter Black Stigma Combines Handguns And Martial Arts, Kicks Off Global Testing on Steam

Today, developer BoldPlay Games announced the upcoming launch of global testing for their new third-person shooter Black Stigma on Steam. The game, which combines martial arts with shooter gameplay features stylized art, currently boasts twelve playable characters – all armed with handguns. All are members of a hitman organization, but all feature their own unique style.

The combination of martial arts with shooting encourages players to engage in more close combat than typical shooters. Players will need to figure out what works for them and what’s appropriate in each situation.

PvP is the goal, but players won’t have to go in blind. Black Stigma features a training ground with dummies, as well as a challenge mode where they can try their skills against the game’s AI.

Those interested in taking part in the global test tour will need to sign up on Steam. The test will take place over two weekends. The first begins November 3 and runs through November 6. The second runs from November 10 to November 13.
