Summary

  • During this year’s Gamescom, the highly anticipated Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes was revealed, opening up pre-orders for a Q1 2026 release.
  • The title is a tactical roguelite, putting players in charge of the human fleet, fleeing from the Cylons, with both story and space combat elements.
  • Management of resources and tensions aboard your ships are key to survival, as is fending off the Cylons in real-time combat when they arrive at each destination.
  • The game is being developed by the team behind Crying Suns and is published by Dotemu, and is arguably one of the more high-profile releases for the genre.
  • If you are unfamiliar with the original TV franchise or want a warm-up for the impending game, there are a few Battlestar mods for other titles out there, including one for Freespace 2.
