Battlestations Pacific

ByDavid Mork

On December 20, 2007, video game publisher Eidos Interactive filed to protect the trademark Battlestations Pacific in relation to computer and video game software.

Mork is going to go ahead and guess that Battlestations Pacific will be the name of the sequel to Eidos’ video game Battlestations Midway. Set in the Pacific during World War II, Battlestation Midway offers a blend of action and real-time tactics allowing players to command their fleets and control their fleet’s assets at the same time. The single player campaign is a series of missions from the Battle of Midway to Pearl Harbor.

Rumors of a Battlestations sequel spread earlier this year following an announcement by Eidos’ parent company SCi that a sequel was in the works.
