Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, developed by Black Lab Games and published by Slitherine, will be removed from sale across all platforms, including Steam, on 2025-11-15. This strategic game, released in 2017, situates players as executive officers during the First Cylon War, engaging in both fleet and squad-level decision-making.
Game Features and Reception
Praised for capturing the essence of the Battlestar Galactica universe, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock immerses players in large-scale battles against Cylon fleets, requiring careful management of colony panic levels. The game uniquely incorporates strategic challenges such as Cylon hacking of ships and systems, mirroring the tension seen in the television series. It has achieved an 88% positive review rate on Steam.
Future Availability and Implications
After 2025-11-15, the game and all its downloadable content will no longer be available for purchase. However, current owners will retain full access to their copies. The game is now on sale at a discount on GOG and remains accessible from various storefronts until its scheduled delisting. This move signals the necessity for fans to act if they wish to secure a copy before it becomes unavailable.
