Slitherine and Black Lab Games, in partnership with Universal Brand Development, have announced Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, a new strategy game based on the Battlestar Galactica sci-fi universe coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this summer.
Here’s an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
The Cylons have rebelled!
Four years of war and a steep price in human lives have not been enough to unlock a deadly stalemate. The Colonials have countered all of the Cylon’s offensives so far, but no decisive victory was achieved.
The deadlock is suddenly broken by a surprise attack from the Cylons and the brutal annihilation of the Colonial Fleet High Command on Picon. The fate of mankind is now resting on the shoulders of Rear-Admiral Lucinda Cain.
The secret, cunning plan she has conceived could turn the tide of the war forever…
