Slitherine diffuse aujourdhui une courte bande-annonce présentant, belle surprise pour les fans de ce fameux univers de SF, un jeu de batailles spatiales tactiques en 3D simulant la première guerre contre les Cylons. Particulièrement la période où après avoir annihilé brutalement le haut commandement de la flotte, ces robots révoltés très belliqueux et s’étant fixés pour objectif d’éradiquer l’humanité sont à deux doigts d’atteindre leur but.
A noter qu’il s’agit ici de l’univers de Battlestar Galactica tel qu’on l’avait vu dans la très sympathique série télé diffusée entre 2004 et 2009.
Pour plus d’informations sur Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, dont la sortie est prévue sur PC et consoles cet été, en août semble-t-il, voyez cette page chez l’éditeur ou cette fiche sur Steam.
