Atari and Eidos Interactive has announced a release date for Battlestations: Pacific – the sequel to their critically acclaimed action strategy game Battlestations: Midway.

Expanding upon the intense, strategic combat of the first title, players can now 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.

An historically accurate US campaign puts players in command of the US Navy’s Pacific fleet through the Battles of Guadalcanal and on to Iwo Jima, Okinawa and victory. For the first time, Battlestations offers players a chance to rewrite history, playing through a Japanese campaign as the Imperial Japanese Navy from Pearl Harbour and on through Asia, Australia and beyond, expanding its empire throughout the Pacific rim.

Battlestations: Pacific will release on May 15 on XBox 360 and Microsoft Games for Windows.
