Publisher Eidos Interactive kündigte die Veröffentlichung von
Battlestations: Midway für die
Xbox 360 an. Damit wird das Spiel, welches von den Eidos Studios in Ungarn entwickelt wird, zusammen mit der PC Version
im Herbst diesen Jahres auf den Markt kommen.
Im Zentrum des Spiels steht die beeindruckende Geschichte und Karriere von Henry Walker, dessen erster Einsatz als Marinerekrut ihn schon direkt in die Geschehnisse um Pearl Harbor im Jahre 1942 verwickelt. Das lässt den Spieler nicht nur die Möglichkeit in mehreren Flugzeugen, sondern auch in Kriegsschiffen und U-Booten Platz zu nehmen, was das Potential für taktische Schlachten voller Action verspricht. Xbox Live Nutzer können darüber hinaus gemeinsam an die Front ziehen - dem Kooperationsmodus sei Dank.
Offizielle Pressemitteilung:
BATTLESTATIONS: MIDWAY
Eidos®€TM epic title premieres on Xbox 360
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 autumn 2006.
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”
Developed by Eidos Studios, Hungary, Battlestations: Midway will be available in autumn 2006.
