We've known for a while that Sierra Online has been planning to bring a Battlestar Galactica game to Xbox Live Arcade but the company has now finally slapped it with an official announcement. Reported on Team Xbox, the game's a top-down shooter featuring a single-player campaign and multiplayer human versus Cylon space battles that support up to eight players in Firefight, Skirmish and Domination modes.
A number of the game's single-player missions are based on action in the TV series, with four ships from both factions - including the Viper II and the Cylon raider - present and pilot-able. It's expected to release this autumn.
