Paramount Digital Entertainment have today announced Star Trek, a brand-new action-adventure co-op title from Digital Extremes based upon the 2009 film of the same name.
The game will see players control Kirk and Spock in an "original story" working together to "stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy."
“Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced,” said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience.”
The story is being penned by BAFTA winner and God of War writer Marianne Krawczyk, alongside the writers of the 2009 Star Trek film Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Paramount Digital Entertainment plan to show off the game at this year's E3 which is taking place in LA from June 7-9.
Star Trek launches in the summer of 2012 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
