Battlestar Galactica is over, but that doesn't mean NBC is done cashing in. They're teaming up with Bigpoint to launching Battlestar Galactica Online, a browser-based massively multiplayer game set in the popular universe.
"Battlestar Galactica is a supremely gameable intellectual property, with compelling character classes, a fantastic array of ships and weaponry, multiple worlds, and a dramatic storyline," said vice president and general manager of digital platforms for Universal Partnerships & Licensing Bill Kispert.
"We are excited to work with Bigpoint - and our partners at Universal Cable Productions and Syfy - to bring an epic, accessible, and 'always on' BSG experience to fans of the franchise and online gamers alike."
The new game will feature tactical space combat and mission-based gameplay, bringing to mind Cryptic's Star Trek Online. It will also apparently be possible to choose between Cylon and Human, though whether you can play as one of the humanoid models is unclear.
The title is currently being shown at GDC, so expect our impressions soon.
