Cryptic Studios, a independent developer and publisher of massively multiplayer online role-playing games, revealed the first details and gameplay trailer for Star Trek Online at the annual Star Trek Convention. The MMOG was unveiled in the Gene Roddenberry Theater by Cryptic chief creative officer Jack Emmert and Star Trek franchise star Leonard Nimoy. Those not in attendance at the convention could watch via a live webcast now available on www.startrekonline.com.
‘I spent many, many Saturday afternoons watching reruns of Star Trek and dreaming of its worlds,’ said Emmert. ‘Leonard Nimoy helped inspire my imagination of what mysteries the universe might in fact hold. I’d like to think that very same imagination is what fuels my desire and drive as a game designer, pushing toward creating an MMO that is the ultimate Star Trek experience.’
Set in the year 2409, Star Trek Online will immerse players in the future of the Star Trek universe, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations in an ever-expanding universe. Gamers will be able to command a starship as a Federation or a Klingon Captain, outfit it with custom systems and recruit, train and mold a crew into an elite force for exploration and combat. Missions will involve battles in space on alien planets and even inside starships. For more information and to register for the Star Trek community go to www.startrekonline.com.
