Matrix Games and Strategic Studies Group have just released new screenshots for their highly anticipated real time naval warfare title, Carriers at War. The new AAR is being written by Gregor Whiley. Check out the pictures below to experience a new understanding of naval combat and strategy set in the Pacific Theatre.

Gregor Whiley, Vice President of Strategic Studies, stated: "SSG has been hard at work remaking this timeless classic. We are confident that our efforts will no doubt yield the same addictive gameplay and intense strategic situations that gave the original Carriers at War its fame."

Carriers at War is a WWII naval combat and strategy game set in the Pacific, focusing mainly on carrier fleet command strategy, where players will have to use all of their naval prowess. Throughout the myriad of scenarios and campaigns found in Carriers at War, strategy fans as well as history freaks will recognize scenarios and enjoy playing through famous engagements like including Pearl Harbor, Midway, Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons and more. And to add more depth to the Carriers at War experience, SSG's latest work will be included among the greatest and most challenging AI in war gaming history, making this game fun for single player as well as multiplayer.

"The SSG team has been tremendous in their efforts at their previous wargame titles," saidDavid Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, "and so I'm particularly excited to see the results of a remake of one of their timeless classics. This new AAR shows just a small snippet of the great potential Carriers at War brings to the table."
