'Battlestations: Pacific' gets new DLC

Eidos has announced details of two new downloadable packs of additional content for action RPG game Battlestations: Pacific.

Priced at 160 Microsoft Points (£1.36) and released today, the Mustang Pack features six new units, including the US P-51 Mustang bomber escort, the US Navy Alaska Class ship and the Super Yamato Class battleship.

It also features 18 new pieces of nose art, as well as the opportunity to fully customise both single and multiplayer battles.

Alternatively, the Carrier Battles Map Pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80) and not become available until July 23.

The DLC will unlock four brand new maps that can be played on all five of the game's multiplayer modes.

The scenarios include: a misty dawn battle in between the Philippine Islands, a clash of carriers at Midway, a skirmish on the icy glacial waters around the mountainous Aleutian Island and the chance to experience Kamikaze attacks within the rocky islands of the Leyte Gulf.
