Dramatic Labs has announced Star Trek: Resurgence, an new official Star Trek video game made in collaboration with ViacomCBS. The third-person narrative adventure game is made by a team that includes over 20 former Telltale staff, and will launch on PC and consoles in 2022.
Announced at The Game Awards 2021, Star Trek: Resurgence is an original story set shortly after Star Trek: The Next Generation, and follows the crew of the U.S.S. Resolute. Two of the crew are playable characters: First Officer Jara Rydek and Carter Diaz of the engineering team. Together, they will unravel a mystery involving two alien civilizations on the brink of war. On that journey, they’ll meet returning characters from the Star Trek universe as well as new ones created for the game.
“As fans of Star Trek, it’s truly an honor to be crafting a story which puts players right in the heart of the action, where significant choices and decisions will affect the entire narrative,” said Kevin Bruner, Founder of Dramatic Labs. “Built from the ground up using Epic’s Unreal engine and our proprietary narrative engine, this game showcases our team’s evolution in creating thought-provoking story-rich adventures.”
Bruner is joined by a number of ex-Telltale staff who worked on the likes of The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Batman. That includes Andrew Grant, former Lead Writer and Creative Director at Telltale; Dan Martin, former Lead Writer at Telltale; Kent Mudle, former Cinematic Director and Creative Director at Telltale; and Brett Tosti, former Executive Producer and Creative Director at Telltale.
With that Telltale blood, it's no surprise that Star Trek: Resurgence will feature dialogue and conversations as a core part of its gameplay, but action sequences are also promised.
