From a multiplayer gore fest in SAW: Genesis to a new story DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, Bloober Team has been quite busy this weekend. However, it had one more announcement, this time with the newly formed Paramount Games Studio, and it’s none other than a new Star Trek title.
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier doesn’t have a release date, but it’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. The story focuses on Ro Laren, a Starfleet commander who had a prominent role in Star Trek: The New Generation. Michelle Forbes returns to reprise her role as Ro in this “mature, story-driven, third-person action-adventure.”
Stranded on a strange world, a “consciousness” of sorts seems to inhabit it, and it’s responsible for messing with her mind. She’ll need to learn everything there is to know about it to survive, which isn’t that easy when even the “Creatures” are out to get you. Of course, you can choose to either fight using the classic Phaser or flee. The Tricorder also comes in handy for analysing the surroundings and potentially avoiding any hazards.
While it does give off horror vibes, Bloober Team is seemingly aiming for a more psychological thriller. It’s an intriguing approach, especially since we haven’t seen many darker entries in the Star Trek franchise, so stay tuned for future updates.
