Eidos Launches Official Battlestations Midway Website

To herald the official ramp up to the much anticipated release of Battlestations Midway early next year, Eidos today launched www.battlestations.net, a new website which will act as a central resource for this epic game. Featuring regularly updated media and game-related details, the new website will play host to all of the very latest news and information on the game to bring fans up to date on hot new developments as well as providing downloadable, interactive content.

In addition, a fresh batch of dramatic new screens is available today.

For all New Battlestations Midway Screenshots

Battlestations: Midway is a vast action game that drops players into massive air, sea, and undersea battles from Pearl Harbor to Midway. Players are also challenged to strategically command massive fleet attacks and take direct, real-time control of over 60 different warships, planes and submarines in the battle. Blending intense 3rd-person action with large-scale naval combat, the game brings to life the great Pacific battles of World War II.

“For the first time, Battlestations: Midway will enable players to directly control dozens of highly detailed warships, aircraft and submarines in a ‘free-control’ environment”, said David Bamberger, marketing manager, Eidos Inc. “The launch of Battlestations.net is a pivotal part of our ongoing campaign to update our broad fan base on key developments for Battlestations: Midway and its upcoming release”.

Battlestations.net also carries a dedicated forum for the Battlestations Midway community to discuss their latest news and views on the game plus new 360 degree screenshots that drop players right into the heart of the battle.

For details on the real historical events in the game, the website also hosts a World War II Pacific Theater overview, a historical chronology on the key battles in the game plus a section on war machines which offers detailed information on the in-game units, with tactical hints and tips on best use and weak spots.

Battlestations Midway will be released in early Q1 2007 on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PC.
