Perfect World Entertainment and Crytpic Studios have announced the next major expansion for Star Trek Online: Delta Rising.

Set 30 years following the events of Star Trek: Voyager, players will set out to explore the Delta Quadrant via a portal discovered in a Dyson Sphere, providing a quick route to the region of the galaxy that U.S.S. Voyager mapped decades earlier.

Delta Rising will have Garrett Wang reprise his role as Harry Kim, adding another celebrity actor’s performance to the cast in the game. As players explore the new quadrant, they will meet familiar species from the Star Trek franchise including the Talaxians, Ocampans, Kazon and more.

The expansion will also increase the player level cap 60 – the first level cap increase in four years. The level cap will allow players to acquire a completely new tier of ships, gear and officers as they level their captains past level 50.

Star Trek Online is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online, first released in 2010 for PC.
