Bigpoint - the global market leader in browser-based massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) - today released the first official gameplay trailer for the upcoming tactical space combat MMOG Battlestar Galactica Online, one of the most ambitious browser-games ever developed. The trailer showcases the game's stunning graphics and fast-paced action, and features Bear McCreary's original score from the series.
Featuring never-before-seen in-game footage of Battlestar Galactica, Cylon Basestars, Raiders, Vipers, and fleet formations, the gameplay trailer highlights space combat. Built with the Unity development platform, Battlestar Galactica Online aims to set new technical and artistic benchmarks for 3D browser games. When the game launches in the United States, it will be available exclusively on Syfy.com for a 30-day period.
Currently in private beta for select players in Europe and North America, Bigpoint is planning to launch the open beta in Q1. Bigpoint released the game's cinematic trailer last year. Battlestar Galactica Online is licensed through Universal Partnerships & Licensing on behalf of NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group.
