"Battlestar Galactica, the sprawling multimedia franchise that began with a short-lived TV show in the '70s and grew to inspire comic books, video games, a tabletop board game, and one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows of the Golden Age of Television. Despite all that, the mainline franchise has remained dormant for over 10 years since the release of Blood & Chrome, a 2012 web series prequel to the 2004 television reimagining."
"Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is the first game for the series in almost a decade, and based on the first gameplay look, it's shaping up to be an immersive, thoughtful return to one of science fiction's most celebrated universes."
"The franchise's last video game, Deadlock, was a turn-based strategy game developed by Black Lab Games and released by Slitherine Software. Taking place in the reboot timeline during the first Cylon War, the game focused on resource management and space battles featuring the warships available to the Colonial Fleet."
Battlestar Galactica stands as a potential fourth pillar of space opera alongside Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dune, having evolved from a 1970s TV series into a multimedia franchise spanning comics, games, and a critically acclaimed 2004 reboot. The mainline franchise remained dormant for over a decade following the 2012 web series Blood & Chrome. Alt Shift has now developed Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, the first game in nearly a decade. The previous video game, Deadlock (2012), was a turn-based strategy title set during the first Cylon War that received praise as the franchise's first truly great game. Scattered Hopes takes place decades after the first Cylon War, representing a significant return to the universe.
