Posted April 15, 2011 by Ben Strauss

Battlestar Galactica Online has hit it big with the fans, rocketing past 1 million registered players in only six weeks.  The MMO has become Bigpoint’s most successful title to date.  The game utilizes Unity Technologies for several aspects of the game, including 3D.  

"There is always a risk when you translate a well-known IP into another medium," said Heiko Hubertz, CEO and founder, Bigpoint. "We built what we believed was a recipe for success; a fantastic gaming experience inspired by an iconic show, with the added benefit of being a free-to-play title. We are grateful to the fans for their support and interest in this game, and pledge to continue to improve and optimize the game."

Battlestar Galactica Online is available for the PC as a free-to-play title.
