Battlestations: Pacific gets July extras

New units, maps, customisable battles.

Eidos has briefed us on the July arrival of new units, maps and battles for Battlestations: Pacific.

The Mustang Pack, which costs 160 Microsoft Points (GBP 1.36 / EUR 1.92), arrives today. Inside are six new units and 18 new pieces of nose art, plus the ability to customise single- and multiplayer battles.

The US P-51 Mustang bomber, US Alaska Class ship and Japanese Super Yamato Class ship are examples of the machinery on offer. What do they do? Kill things.

The Carrier Battles Map Pack docks on 23rd July for 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60). Here we find four scenarios: a clash of carriers at Midway; a misty morning battle on the Philippine Islands; a Kamikaze attack in the rocky Leyte Gulf; and a mountainous and icy water skirmish on the Aleutian Islands.

Pictures of the DLC can be found in our Battlestations: Pacific gallery.
