Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes announced and has me terribly excited

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a new strategy game from Dotemu and developer Alt Shift releasing in Q1 2026.

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a fugitive roguelike fleet-builder from the makers of Crying Suns


I'd entirely forgotten about Battlestar Galactica. I wouldn't say hearing the show's melancholy singsong theme during Gamescom's Opening Night Live gave me Proustian nostalgia pangs, but it did fill me with a vague desire to look up Gunstar mods for Homeworld.


The game announcement in question was for Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a new tactical roguelite from the developers of Crying Suns. Published by Dotemu, it gives you quasi-isometric control of the human armada racing to escape the sinister Cylon fleet. You'll divide your time between managing tensions aboard your ships via branching story beats, assigning limited upgrade resources, flushing out new vessels from the planets you visit, and fending off the perfidious toasters in real-time space combat. Here's a trailer.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: SCATTERED HOPES IS COMING EARLY 2026!

[p]Alt Shift and Dotemu, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences, join forces today to announce Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a tactical, story-driven roguelite set in the universe of the iconic sci-fi franchise![/p][p][/p][p]DISCOVER THE REVEAL TRAILER NOW![/p][p][/p][h3]The Call of Adama.[/h3][p]In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, you command a fleet of spaceships fleeing humanity’s settled worlds, known as the Twelve Colonies, when Cylons–a sentient robotic species created by humans to make their life easier–suddenly turn against their creators. [/p][p][/p][p]Your only hope? Answer Admiral Adama’s call and rejoin the mighty ship known as the Battlestar Galactica.
[/p][p]Trying to escape the Cylon Fleet’s devastating onslaught on humankind won’t be your only worry. Preventing political dissent or in-fleet disputes from dividing your forces will test your ability to manage multiple crises at once – including identifying imposters that may already be among your ranks.
[/p][h3]The Choice is Yours.[/h3][p]Every difficult choice made in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes brings consequences, and each run varies in its challenges. [/p][p]As you navigate planets and galactic points of interest, you will be facing complex dilemmas – from allocating precious resources to addressing incidents within your fleet to managing divergent factions’ interests on board, each crisis will push you to make difficult choices.
[/p][p]But, beware: with every action you take, the Cylons are closing in. Prioritize your crew’s actions wisely to prepare for the inevitable fight to come.
[/p][h3]Prepare. Resist. Jump.[/h3][p]Once the deadly Cylons have made contact with your forces, a battle begins. [/p][p]True to the franchise’s theme of escaping an overwhelming enemy, each encounter in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a fight for survival.[/p][p][/p][p]Deploy fighters from your hangars and direct them in real-time combat scenarios to dispatch the Cylons, minimizing damage to your central ship while wielding its onboard defenses against your gravest threats. [/p][p]Endure until your fleet can complete its calculations for the FTL jump and flee to another sector of the galaxy, choosing your destination (and potential in-game rewards) based on your most dire needs.[/p][p][/p][p]Don’t forget – survival is victory.[/p][p][/p][h3]Every Run, Closer to Your Goal[/h3][p]Each run in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes offers new lessons as you adapt to defy your brutal odds of survival, and your tactical options broaden as you unlock additional squadrons, weapons and traits as well as meta upgrades to benefit future runs. [/p][p][/p][p]With its rich procedural narrative design, you get to shape your journey with each run. Make decisions that meaningfully alter your fleet’s fate, lead your fighters through high-risk battles, and jump to new sectors before the Cylons turn your ships into astral debris. [/p][p][/p][p]With humanity’s haven in the Twelve Colonies now uninhabitable, your tactical leadership is your crew’s only hope of surviving the journey to humankind’s last hope, the Battlestar Galactica. [/p][p][/p][p]So say we all!
