Anyone care to comment on the truth of this?

:hmm:

Sorry if it's old news, there's not much to see other than the possible release date and possible price tag.

While I'm not expecting any official response, it would be nice to get something a little more concrete.

Gamespot gives the release date as Q2 2008, most other sites dont have any date listed. :hmm:

LOL, Q2 2008 is the usual thing put up when the sites don't know for sure.

The way that Ubisoft announced the Add On a few months back, I think it's clear that it won't be free software, you will have to purchase it, and they are aiming for an April release date.

When they first announced the add-on didn't they say they wanted to release it in January/February?
Don't get me wrong I think it would be better if it would be released in April. It would give the devs more time to get rid of bugs etc.

They released this:

"Silent Hunter IV: Wolves of the Pacific U-Boat Missions". This add-on is scheduled to be released in Spring 2008 and will add a number of additional features to the game, including a German Campaign in the Indian Ocean, new resources and submarines to use, as well as Hero crewmembers! Below are some of the details:

German Campaign in the Indian Ocean: The new campaign spans from July 1943 until end of war, in May 1945. Players will operate from such far off Japanese naval bases as Penang, Singapore, Jakarta and Surabaya.

Strategic Warfare: As the player rises in rank and experience he gains access to new strategic resources such as recon aircraft that track down enemy shipping and even battle groups that can help wipe out superior enemy forces.

New Playable Submarines: Take to the seas in the long range Type IX-D2 U-boat and the revolutionary Walther propulsion type XVIII U-boat. Learn the strengths and weaknesses of these boats and how you can overcome even elite late war allied destroyers with high speed hit and run attacks.

Heroes: Based on actual historical figures, these new crewmembers add a number of special abilities that can change the fate of battle and save the ship when the time is right, as well as adding historical color to the game.

--------------------------

I don't think you'll see it before April.
