Heads up, Trekkies and strategy enthusiasts! Paradox Interactive and Nimble Giant Entertainment have dropped the mic with an announcement that’s gonna be a game-changer in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Their new title, Star Trek: Infinite, has its sights set on a Mac and PC release on October 12, 2023. Licensed under Paramount Consumer Products, this ain’t your average space sim.
Chart the Unknown: Pre-order Perks Aplenty
If you’re itching to be one of the early space explorers, there’s a pre-order window wide open. Committing early will score you some sweet perks, including Star Trek: Lower Decks uniform options and the U.S.S. Cerritos, a science ship tailored for minor nations in a mode called Second Contact. Oh, and for our Klingon brethren, there’s an exclusive Klingon advisor voice line that goes, “Qapla.” For real, who wouldn’t want that?
Deluxe Details: When Standard Just Isn’t Enough
For the Trekkies seeking a premium experience, the Digital Deluxe Edition (DDE) is where you wanna look. Apart from the core game, this loaded package includes a digital artbook, the game’s official soundtrack, and an in-game music pack featuring classic tunes from the Star Trek universe.
Set Phasers to Fun: Gameplay Dynamics
Taking place decades before the era of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Infinite is out to give you the reins of your very own Quadrant Power. Whether you roll with The United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire, there’s a seat with your name on it in the captain’s chair.
As the head honcho of your chosen faction, you’ll get to play God—err, Captain—with a bunch of stuff. Think galactic politics, empire economics, and first contact scenarios with species you didn’t even know existed. Rest easy, the game remains a stickler for Star Trek lore while dishing out brand new storylines to explore.
Next Steps: Get Ready to Beam Up
So if you’re all about that Star Trek life and can’t wait to forge your own path in the galaxy, keep an eye out for Star Trek: Infinite, docking onto Mac and PC on October 12, 2023. Until then, live long and prosper, gamers.
