Battlestar Galactica MMO announce opens GDC

By Patrick Garratt

GDC’s getting under way as we type, and first out of the gate is a Battlestar Galactica MMO from German firm Bigpoint.

The company also just said it’s to open a US office.

Battlestar Galactica owner NBC Universal acquired 35 percent of Bigpoint in 2008.

The game is due in the back half of this year, and, obviously, is based on the Syfy TV show.

Bigpoint’s US offices will be based in San Francisco.

There’s a press release here.
