Activision Publishing and Hasbro have announced that the Battleship videogame, a stand-alone story from Universal Pictures' upcoming epic action-adventure of the same name, will be available this May.
“We’re geared up for an outrageous sea and land conflict with the all new Battleship videogame,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “Inspired by the film’s exciting action and stunning backdrop, the game is next-gen naval warfare that thrusts players into the middle of humanity’s last stand against an unfamiliar menace.”
Battleship follows elite demolitions specialist Cole Mathis as he clashes against an aquatic-based extraterrestrial peril in the sand and sea of the beautiful Hawaiian archipelago. Trapped in a veritable communications dead zone, Mathis must command the U.S. Navy fleet in a “siege on the sea,” while simultaneously rallying the troops on land for a terrifying “war on the shore.” Combining naval strategy simulation with first-person shooter gameplay, players fend off the enemy beach side while ordering attacks against their marine counterparts.
Battleship videogame is developed by Double Helix for Xbox 360 and PS3, and by Magic Pockets for Wii, DS and 3DS.
