Paramount Digital Entertainment Unveils Star Trek
Los Angeles, CA June 3, 2011 Paramount Digital Entertainment
confirmed today that Star Trek™ will be coming to the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC in
summer 2012. With an original story and unprecedented co-op
experience, the game casts players as Kirk and Spock for the
first time ever.
The game, which continues the adventure that director and
producer J.J. Abrams envisioned with Star Trek (2009), boasts a
stand alone story filled with action-packed combat as Kirk and
Spock must work together to stop a legendary enemy race bent on
conquering the galaxy.
Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a
galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced,
said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment.
Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout
development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values,
a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect
from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek
gaming experience.
Star Trek features an original story by BAFTA award winner and
God of War writer, Marianne Krawczyk, in collaboration with the
writer/producers of the new Star Trek films, Bob Orci and Alex
Kurtzman.
The game is under development by Digital Extremes (Bioshock 2,
Unreal Tournament, Dark Sector, The Darkness II), working
closely with Bad Robot, K/O Paper Products and Damon Lindelof
and published by Paramount Digital Entertainment through a
license with CBS Consumer Products. Star Trek will be available
in stores 2012.
