Ubisoft Announces Original Bridge for Star Trek Bridge Crew
SAN FRANCISCO – February 10, in the year of our Lord
2017 – Today, Ubisoft® announced the iconic U.S.S.
Enterprise bridge from Star Trek: The Original Series will be
playable in Star Trek™: Bridge Crew, the new virtual reality
game where players explore space as a member of Starfleet. Under
license by CBS Consumer Products, Star Trek: Bridge Crew will be
available on PlayStation®VR, Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. In
addition to the announcement of the original series bridge
aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, the new launch date on
all platforms will be May 30.
Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, Star
Trek fans will be able to live out their Star Trek dreams as a
member of the bridge crew aboard the famed U.S.S. Enterprise and
the U.S.S. Aegis, a brand new ship created for Star Trek: Bridge
Crew. Playable co-operatively with a crew of up to four or solo
as Captain, players will be immersed into the Star Trek universe
as they command a Starfleet vessel and complete missions that
will determine the fate of their ship and crew. The original
U.S.S. Enterprise bridge will be playable in the Ongoing Voyages
mode, which generates randomized missions for countless hours of
solo and co-op adventure.
“We felt it was important to include a part of classic Star Trek
with this game, especially during Star Trek’s 50th anniversary,”
said David Votypka, Sr. Creative Director at Red Storm
Entertainment. “The original U.S.S. Enterprise is such an iconic
part of the franchise - it’s the ship that started it all. The
adventures and relationships that took place on the ship are a
special part of Star Trek history, so we were determined to give
players the opportunity to create their own adventures and
stories on this classic ship. We’re very excited to see player
reactions when they step onto the U.S.S. Enterprise original
bridge for the first time, and experience Star Trek: Bridge Crew
in a whole new way. We’re also appreciative of players’ patience
as we finalize work on the game to bring the Star Trek
experience we envisioned to life.”
Star Trek: Bridge Crew marks the most recent project in virtual
reality for Ubisoft, which believes in the strong potential of
VR to redefine social gaming with a unique sense of reality.
Ubisoft recently released the games Werewolves Within™ and Eagle
Flight™, and announced a VR partnership with the film company
SpectreVision.
