If your enjoyment of Battlestar Galactica has been marred by a lack of cell-phone-based interactivity, then you may find the second half of the final season of television’s most depressing SF show to be much more to your liking. It’s all thanks to a new initiative announced by SciFi Channel’s parent company, Universal Media, at the end of last week. Find out how you can become part of the mobile-phone-based Cylon war effort under the jump.
For just $3 per month, you too can join the ongoing fight against the Cylons, thanks to Universal Digital Platforms Group and Glu Mobile. Those are the two companies behind the new cell phone game based on Ron Moore’s revamped Galactica, launched on Friday. The game – described by Glu Mobile’s Senior VP of Global Publishing, Jill Braff, as “a compelling space-shooter that lets gamers experience the excitement and atmosphere of the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ universe anytime, anywhere” – is available on multiple carriers, including AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile.
It’s still not 100% clear if Friday’s announcement is the reality behind those rumors about SciFi’s Stargate game, but it’s definitely a clear sign that SciFi and Universal are serious about keeping the franchise alive after the series comes to a conclusion in 2009.
