Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes - Tactical Roguelike Survival Journey

Publishers Dotemu (Marvel Cosmic Invasion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge) and indie studio Alt Shift (Crying Suns), in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, have announced Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes. This tactical roguelike action game blends intergalactic survival with a gripping story, designed to immerse fans of the classic Battlestar Galactica series. The game is set to launch on PC in early 2026. A new trailer offers a glimpse into the challenges commanders will face, both in and out of combat. In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, players assume the role of fleet commander, tasked with leading the last remnants of humanity on a perilous journey from the uninhabitable Twelve Colonies. The ultimate goal is to reach humanity's final refuge, the Battlestar Galactica, and keep the crew alive. This mission requires navigating unexpected threats, meticulously managing scarce resources, and resolving internal conflicts within the fleet. Players must make strategic decisions regarding crew, equipment, and upgrades, all while rooting out potential Cylon imposters. Each playthrough presents fresh challenges, bringing the fleet closer to a Cylon ambush and demanding constant vigilance against those seeking humanity's extinction.

The game features real-time tactical combat combined with strategic fleet management. Players deploy starfighters from hangars and command them in live combat to engage Cylon forces, protecting the main ship with onboard defenses. When combat becomes overwhelming, commanders can choose to escape to another galaxy sector, prioritizing their destination based on immediate needs and potential bonuses. Success in each game enhances future runs, allowing players to learn new tricks and unlock additional squads, weapons, and resources. These tactical options and future-game perks expand the fleet's capabilities, enabling players to explore new sectors and confront Cylon threats more effectively. The game's narrative and visual style, featuring stunning illustrations, are inspired by Alt Shift's acclaimed title Crying Suns, which has over a million players. Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes brings players into the rich and detailed universe of Battlestar Galactica, paying homage to the survival and adventure themes of the original series.
