Eidos
Interactive, one of the world’s leading publishers
and developers of entertainment software, today
confirms that Battlestations:
Midway will be released on Xbox 360 and PC
in 2007.
Taking
advantage of Microsoft’s next-generation video
game and entertainment system, Battlestations:
Midway on Xbox 360 delivers a genuinely new and
exciting single and multiplayer gameplay experience.
Battlestations:
Midway follows the story of naval recruit Henry
Walker, whose first assignment as a gunner at
Pearl Harbor is the starting point of an incredible
career at the heart of the US Pacific Fleet in
1942, in what was to become one of the most inspirational
military campaigns in history.
For the
first time, relive the intensity of massive air,
sea and underwater WWII battles in a unique mix
of intense action and tactical gameplay. Directly
control dozens of highly detailed warships, aircraft
and submarines in a ‘free-control’ environment
as you design and execute the best plans of attack.
Command the colossal firepower of a fully armed
battleship, engage the enemy in fierce dogfights
through flak-infested skies or utilise the stealth
of your submarine to unleash deadly torpedo attacks
on unsuspecting enemies.
“Battlestations:
Midway offers players a refreshingly new and exciting
gaming experience, whilst maintaining an incredible
level of detail which recreates the intensity
and atmosphere of the Pacific War. The ability
to jump from a raging dogfight to the deck of
a destroyer, with the crew frantically running
about around you on deck, to the silence of a
prowling submarine provides a unique and at times
breathtaking experience. And, of course, watching
your mate’s aircraft carrier sink past your sub
after a sneaky online torpedo attack is extremely
satisfying!” said Brand Manager, Matt Russell.
“On Xbox
Live™, gamers will be able to take part in gripping
cooperative games and the high-definition mode
really brings to life the glorious scale of Midway
battles,” said Klaude Thomas, Producer. “The power
of Xbox 360 allows us a greater level of detail
– self-shadowed, bump-mapped and textured in high
resolution, which you simply couldn’t do before
now”
