Star Trek Online coming to consoles

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios have announced plans to bring Star Trek Online, the free-to-play MMORPG based on the Star Trek franchise, to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Fall 2016.

At the console launch, Star Trek Online will offer over six years’ worth of content, including over 130 featured episodes that build upon classic Star Trek stories and series as they play alongside a cast of Star Trek actors including Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine), Michael Dorn (Worf), Tim Russ (Tuvok) and more.

Each player’s adventure will begin as they choose from classic Star Trek factions including Federation, Klingon and Romulans, as well 32 species to customize their own Captain with millions of customization options available. While playing through content in Star Trek Online, players will be able to visit iconic locations including Vulcan, Deep Space Nine, Earth Space Dock and more. Players will be able to play through the game’s story content and reach the level 60 cap, all for free.

Cryptic Studios has also made considerable updates to the game engine to offer upgraded visuals and an enhanced user experience for console. Learning from the recent launch of Neverwinter on Xbox One, the Star Trek Online team has created a control scheme that allows players to navigate both the space and ground combat with ease.

Star Trek Online first made its debut on PC back in 2010.
