Midway today announced the first-person shooter ‘Blacksite: Area 51’ is currently in development at their Austin Studios for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the PC. No target window was given for release, making us think this one will see store shelves in 2008, at the earliest.

Without question, BlackSite: Area 51 will raise the bar in the next generation FPS genre with its stunning visuals, life-like squad interactions and its multitude of online multiplayer modes.”
