Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, an innovative tactical game where survival hinges on strategic decisions, is coming to PC in the South American autumn of 2026. Dotemu (Absolutum, Marvel Cosmic Invasion) and Alt Shift (Crying Suns) are collaborating with Universal Products & Experiences on the project. A demo is currently available. Alt Shift, known for crafting narratives where choices have significant consequences and for gameplay that emphasizes crisis management under pressure, brings its expertise to this new title. In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, players command a small fleet, desperately fleeing the Twelve Colonies while evading relentless Cylons. Success requires skillful tactics, careful planning, and preventing internal sabotage. As fleet commander, the player must use crew time effectively to prepare for inevitable Cylon attacks, scouting for resources, equipment, and new crew members. The player will also need to resolve internal conflicts, address the repercussions of past battles, and expose hidden Cylons within the ranks.
Inspired by the franchise’s spirit of perseverance and the iconic 33-minute countdown from the TV series pilot, the core objective is to withstand enemy forces long enough to execute a jump to another sector. Combat involves deploying fighters from hangars to engage Cylons in hybrid engagements while safeguarding the main ship from internal threats. Each playthrough provides new strategic lessons as players adapt, unlocking new squadrons and weapons to enhance their tactical options in future campaigns. The player’s decisions directly impact the fleet’s destiny during high-stakes battles. With Earth lost, the player is tasked with guiding ships and pilots toward humanity’s last beacon of hope: Battlestar Galactica itself. Universal Products & Experiences (UPE), a division of Universal Destinations & Experiences and a subsidiary of NBCUniversal (owned by Comcast), is responsible for extending NBCUniversal brands, including properties from Universal Pictures, Illumination, and DreamWorks Animation. These brands are expanded via various products, themed experiences, games, and retail at theme parks worldwide. Battlestar Galactica, a science fiction franchise produced by Universal Studio Group about humanity’s struggle to survive relentless Cylon pursuit while searching for Earth, is one such brand.
Battlestar Galactica-Inspired Tactical Roguelike from Alt Shift, Coming Soon
Dotemu has published and developed titles such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage 4, and Ninja Gaiden: Rageborn. The company has also published titles like Metal Slug Tactics, Windjammers, Pharaoh: A New Era, and Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. In addition to Marvel Cosmic Invasion and Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, Dotemu has further projects planned for 2026 and beyond. Alt Shift, a small indie game studio based in Montpellier, France, was founded in 2010 by friends who shared a passion for science fiction and innovative game design. They are best known for Crying Suns, a tactical roguelike inspired by science fiction classics such as Foundation, Dune, and Battlestar Galactica. See the teaser trailer for a glimpse at the release window and the blend of difficult choices and real-time tactical gameplay that awaits.
