Battlestar Galactica: Fall of Kobol heads back to humanity's first apocalypse
The game is set around the Fall of Kobol, the ancient collapse of humanity's original homeworld that predates the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies.
The short version
- Fall of Kobol digs into one of Battlestar Galactica's oldest lore events.
- It's the collapse of humanity's original homeworld, long before the Cylons hit the Colonies.
- Steam News pitched it as the game that keeps the series alive.
Battlestar Galactica: Fall of Kobol is going way back in the timeline. A new Steam News post spotlights the game and its setting: the Fall of Kobol, the catastrophe that ended humanity's original homeworld.
If your Battlestar knowledge starts with the Cylons wiping out the Twelve Colonies, this is the prequel to all of that. Kobol is where the Thirteen Tribes once lived alongside the godlike Lords of Kobol, before the whole civilization collapsed.
In other words, humanity in this universe has been through the end of the world before. The Cylon attack wasn't the first time.
Steam News framed the post under the line that Fall of Kobol "Keeps The Series Alive", a nod to how rarely the franchise shows up in games.
That's the extent of the details in the post itself. There's no word in it on release timing, price, platforms beyond the Steam storefront, or how the game actually plays.
Picking the Fall of Kobol as a setting is a fun swing for longtime fans, since it's an event the show mostly talked about rather than showed. How much of that ancient history the game puts on screen is the big open question.
What we don’t know yet
- The post doesn't give a release date or price.
- It isn't clear what genre the game is or how it plays.
- Platforms beyond Steam haven't been mentioned.
