Released in 2017, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is a space strategy game based on the popular series. Despite good reviews and loyal fans, the game will soon disappear from sale. Fans believe this is due to the release of a new game in the Battlestar Galactica universe.
An announcement appeared on the project's Steam page: Battlestar Galactica Deadlock will be removed from sale on November 15, 2025. The game will disappear from Steam, GOG, as well as the Xbox and PlayStation stores. Those who bought the project will keep it in their library. Others can purchase the game within the next week.
The developers did not explain the reason for the removal, which caused a wave of speculation. Some believe it's about licensing issues. Others are confident that the move is related to the upcoming release of Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, which is scheduled for release in early 2026.
Commenters emphasize that publisher Slitherine often removes old games before the release of similar projects to avoid competition. But Scattered Hopes is being released by Dotemu, not Slitherine.
On Reddit, users speculate that the issue is with copyright or music. Perhaps the brand owners do not want to support an old product that no longer generates profit.
Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is a turn-based strategy game where the player controls the Colonial Fleet in the war against the Cylons. The game received 77/100 on Metacritic and 87% positive reviews on Steam.
