Eidos returns to open water with Battlestations: Pacific
As the smoke clears following this morning's massive restructuring efforts by Eidos parent SCi, we now know at least one franchise that has not been counted among those projects tossed into the circular file. Eidos has announced that development is underway on a follow up to last year's Battlestations: Midway, unsurprising given the company's known affection for sequels.
The new game, Battlestations: Pacific, is being created for both the Xbox 360 and PC. According to Eidos, the sequel will mark a return to the original's "unique blend" of action and strategy with 28 story missions across both U.S. and Japanese single player campaigns. In addition, players can expect a "slew of new air, sea, and land units" as well, including kamikazes and other WWII-era jets, as well as five new multiplayer modes. A final release date for the game has not yet been announced, but as soon as we know we'll pass the word along for those itching to gun down friends and family over the Pacific.

I thought SCI just said they wanted to focus on proven IP's?

Countdown to reviews of questionable veracity begins now.

im pretty excited to see this game (always a fan of somebody who tries something different)... the first one was good and this one looks to be even better.

I really like the original on line, looking forward to this.

There's honestly nothing else like it out there. Go for it, I say, niche or not.

I really enjoyed the first one, I say the second one should be better!
