Det er næppe en overdrivelse at påstå, at spilmarkedet ikke ligefrem flyder over med nyere, karakterdrevne spil, sat i Star Trek’s ellers ganske ekspansive univers. Har du savnet sådan et spil, kan Paramount Digital Entertainment dog være behjælpelige. De har i dag frigivet en pressemeddelelse hvori i beskriver deres kommende spil, med det simple navn “Star Trek”, som udkommer til sommer 2012. Det bliver en co-op-fokuseret oplevelse, hvor spillere hopper i støvlerne på Kirk og Spock, ganske som man må forvente at seriens fans vil glæde sig til. Spillet beskrives som udviklet i tæt samarbejde med filmskaberholdet, hvilket antyder, at spillet tager visuelle stikord fra 2009-filmen, hvor Chris Pine og Zachary Quinto lagde person til henholdsvis Kirk og Spock. Bioshock 2-udviklerne, Digital Extremes, står bag spillet, som fremvises på E3 i år. Du kan læse pressemeddelelsen ved at klikke dig igennem nyheden.
