Sequel
On February 28, Eidos Interactive announced Battlestations: Pacific for PC and Xbox 360. In May 2009 the game became available to the public. This sequel takes place right after Battlestations: Midway and has twice as many missions as the game before. It also includes 21 new units and add the ability to command troops to fight on the islands, though the player has no control over any individual land unit. Naval mine and Kamikazes have also been added. A new feature includes the ability to play as the Japanese from commanding the Pearl Harbor attack to Midway. Details have been added for a more realistic effect; for example, while submerged in a sub flora and fauna are visible, as well as a sea floor. The game also provides an alternate history timeline for the Japanese, a what-if scenario that tells the story of the IJN's victory at Midway, which later considers Pearl Harbor a threat to its already overextending conquest borderline, therefore forcing an invasion of Hawaii, which Japan successfully executes. Bereft of naval supremacy and supplies, it forces the United States to surrender, and submit to a puppet government, dividing the region with Nazi Germany in the East, which concludes World War II in an Axis victory, and world conquest.
On May 15, 2008, Feral Interactive has announced Battlestations: Midway for Mac. This game was developed for the Mac by Robosoft Technologies and published by Feral Interactive.

Famous quotes containing the word sequel:
“Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
