According to the Los Angeles Times, German-based game publisher BigPoint made the announcement today at GDC 2010 of plans to release Battlestar Galactica Online, a browser-based MMORPG based on the the "reimagined" TV show that had a five year run on the Syfy Channel. Here are excerpts of the article. 

"We're picking a point in the chronology of the series that fans are very familiar with to tell new stories," explained Bill Kispert, vice president of digital platforms for the partnerships and licensing department of Universal Pictures, which owns the "Battlestar Galactica" rights and made the game deal. "There will be space combat as well as missions and exploration."

"With a browser game, you just get started when you launch," said Nils-Holger Henning, chief communications officer of BigPoint. "We can constantly add features and content for people who are playing."

Battlestar Galactica Online is expect to launch sometime in the fall of 2010 on the Syfy.com web site for a 30 day exclusive period. Stay tuned for details.
