Are you ready to boldly go where no man has gone before?
It’s already December and with each new trailer release from Star Trek Online, I must say the anticipation is getting to me. I have been a Star Trek fan ever since I was a kid. I believe Star Trek was the first show that really showed me how a great adventure story is made. I guess you can say I have always had a vivid imagination due to my love for a great story.
Being developed for the PC by Cryptic Studios and published by Atari. Star Trek Online is set 30 years after the Star Trek Nemesis movie. The game was originally being developed by Perpetual Entertainment with their own game engine in 2004 until the developer went into bankruptcy in 2008. This is when Cryptic Studios picked up the title and began development.
According to the official site, each player will be captain of his or her own ship. Gamers will be able to play as either Federation or Klingon with an addition to also creating your own race. This concept that Cryptic had devised seeks to differentiate characters with an impressive level of customization. Players will also get to experience several memorable story- line’s, ships, and characters from the Star Trek TV shows. You can bet with awesome visuals and being able to battle in land, space, or inside of other ships. This game is set to be one helluva Star trek experience.
Star Trek Online will become the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) within the Star Trek franchise. The game is set to be released February 2, 2010. For videos and more related to Star Trek Online, visit the games page at Gametrailers.
