Black Lab Games and Slitherine Ltd. have announced a new expansion for Battlestar Galactica Deadlock.
The sci-fi strategy game’s new expansion, Anabasis, is launching on October 18th. The new content will include a new game mode, 4 new munition types, 11 new maps, and 12 new missions.
The Skirmish Mode is perhaps the largest addition, which tasks players with leading a customizable fleet back to Caprica in an FTL-like procedurally generated campaign format.
Resources are limited and your fleet will be hunted by the ever-looming threat of the numerically superior Cylon armada. You can read more here, and check out a trailer above.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
The Cylons have rebelled!
Four years of war and a steep price in human lives have not been enough to unlock a deadly stalemate. The Colonials have countered all of the Cylon’s offensives so far, but no decisive victory was achieved.
The deadlock is suddenly broken by a surprise attack from the Cylons and the brutal annihilation of the Colonial Fleet High Command on Picon. The fate of mankind is now resting on the shoulders of Rear-Admiral Lucinda Cain.
The secret, cunning plan she has conceived could turn the tide of the war forever…
