Namco Bandai and Paramount Pictures are pleased to announce today that during the first quarter of 2013, they will be releasing the first Star Trek games to hit the consoles and PC.
The new Star Trek game by both companies will be based on the upcoming Star Trek movie that will premier on May 17, 2013. Developed by the team that brought us Darkness II and the original Bioshock, the Star Trek video game will feature an action packed adventure for those faithful Star Trek fans.
The game’s original story is being penned by BAFTA award winner and God of War writer Marianne Krawczyk in collaboration with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, writers and producers for the upcoming Star Trek film. Built from the ground up as the ultimate co-op experience, the Star Trek video game lets players control both Kirk and Spock in a sweeping journey of epic proportions across unexplored planets and enemy battleships with the latest 23rd century weapons and gear. Kirk and Spock’s complementary personalities result in the most fully realized and varied co-op experiences for this console generation.
We should hear and see more of this title as we head closer to E3 2012.
