Attention all Battlestar Galactica fans: a beloved piece of the franchise is about to vanish forever. Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, the 2017 strategy game inspired by Ronald D. Moore’s iconic sci-fi reboot, is set to be delisted from all digital platforms this week, specifically on November 16th in Australia. But here's where it gets urgent—once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
In a recent update, developer Slitherine announced, “Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock and all its DLCs will no longer be available for purchase on any platform.” They framed this as the end of an era for their space fleet saga, urging fans to act fast: “We want to give everyone a proper heads-up to grab the game while it’s still available.”
And this is the part most people miss: if you already own the game, you’re in the clear. You can continue commanding your fleet, exploring the galaxy, and completing missions without any restrictions. But for those who haven’t joined the fight yet, time is ticking.
Here’s where you can snag it before it’s too late:
- Windows PC (Steam): Priced between $58.50 – $164.55 AUD.
- Xbox One/Series (Microsoft Store): Starting at $39.95 AUD.
- PS4 (PlayStation Store): Starting at $39.95 AUD.
Slitherine didn’t hold back on gratitude, thanking players for their “passion, feedback, and dedication” that kept the game alive in the hearts of the community. But here’s where it gets controversial: Why is such a beloved title being delisted in the first place? Is it licensing issues, or something more? We can only speculate, but it’s a stark reminder of the fleeting nature of digital ownership.
Currently, Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock is available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, and PS5—but only until November 16th. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
