Though it began as a TV show, *Battlestar Galactica* has grown into a large franchise with many spin-offs. Besides novels and comics, there have been several *Battlestar Galactica* video games over the years. From the 2003 PlayStation 2 game to the now-defunct online MMO, many games have attempted to recreate the feel of the popular sci-fi series – and some, like *Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock*, have done a great job. Now, we’re getting a preview of the next video game in this expansive space saga.
The new game, *Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes*, was revealed at Gamescom in August. Indie developer Alt Shift and publisher Dometu shared some initial details then. This game is different from previous *Battlestar Galactica* titles, offering a unique “roguelite” experience where players make important story choices. Now, a brand-new gameplay trailer gives us a closer look at what to expect.
New Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes Gameplay Trailer Gives In-Depth Look At Franchise’s First Roguelite
The first trailer for *Scattered Hopes* was primarily a cinematic introduction, with a brief glimpse of gameplay at the end. It revealed players would take on the role of a Gunstar Captain, leading a fleet of survivors in an attempt to escape the Cylons and find the Battlestar Galactica. A new gameplay trailer, shown at IGN Fall Fan Fest, now provides a more detailed look at how the game works. You can watch it below to see the resource management and important choices that will be key parts of this new *Battlestar Galactica* game.
The new trailer offers a clearer view of the game’s visuals and voice acting, giving fans a good idea of what to anticipate. It’s evident that *Scattered Hopes* will challenge players to make tough choices to ensure their fleet survives. The game heavily features real-time strategy, requiring players to carefully decide how to proceed. As you play, you’ll unlock upgrades and new ships to help you progress and complete your mission.
The game’s visuals are similar to those found in visual novels, featuring mostly still images while you explore menus and make choices. Despite this, it successfully creates a feeling of being lost in space, and the voice acting helps make each decision feel important as the story progresses.
A closer look at *Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes* is giving fans a clearer picture of what to expect from this new sci-fi game. The combination of real-time strategy and roguelite gameplay has generated a lot of excitement, especially considering the developer’s successful history with *Crying Suns*. However, we’ve probably only seen a small portion of the game so far, so hopefully we’ll get to see more gameplay before it launches.
While we don’t have a specific release date yet, the trailer revealed that *Scattered Hopes* is expected in early 2026. Currently, Steam is the only platform confirmed for this new game in the *Battlestar Galactica* series. You can add it to your Wishlist on Steam to stay informed about updates.
