Eidos Interactive, Inc. and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announce that Battlestations: Pacific is set to release on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows LIVE in North America on May 12, 2009. Battlestations: Pacific is rated "T" for Teen.
Battlestations: Pacific takes the critically-acclaimed action/strategy gameplay of Battlestations: Midway to the next level with more intense, strategic combat. Players can take to the skies and seas through two massive, action-packed campaigns across 28 missions, featuring some of the most decisive naval battles in history.
A historically accurate U.S. campaign puts players in command of the U.S. Navy's Pacific fleet through the Battles of Guadalcanal and on to Iwo Jima, Okinawa and victory. For the first time, players have a chance to rewrite history, commanding a Japanese campaign as the Imperial Japanese Navy from Pearl Harbor to Asia, Australia and beyond, expanding its empire throughout the Pacific Rim.
Battlestations: Pacific, the strategy game takes place in the Pacific theater of WWII and promises to be bigger, more intense and broader in scope than the first game in this series. The campaign mode will feature more than 28 story missions, and you can expect 21 new air, sea and undersea units.
Eidos said: "In the sequel, you'll be able to play as both the Americans and the Japanese in the single-player campaigns, and you'll find out what could have happened, if Japan had gained the upper hand against the United States."
