The game will initially launch exclusively on SyFy's website for a 30 day period this fall, before being available elsewhere.

Players will be able to choose to play as either the humans, led by Admiral Adama, or the Cylons, and the game will be a blend of tactical space combat, exploration, and mission-based gameplay.
