Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, one of the PC’s best spaceship strategy games, ‘will no longer be available for purchase on any platform’ as of next week

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock will be removed from Steam and all other platforms on November 15. The game and its expansions will be "phased out" from sale, as announced by publisher Slitherine. Deadlock, released in 2017, features unique combat mechanics set during the First Cylon War, where players engage in simultaneous encounters. Slitherine has previously delisted other titles this year, but Deadlock will be entirely removed from all storefronts. A new game, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, is set for release early next year, offering a different tactical roguelike experience.
