Star Trek: Resurgenceis a third-person adventure game that’s coming to all of the major consoles and theEpic Games Storeon PC in Spring 2022, soStar Trekfans don’t have a long wait for the next big sci-fi adventure. The game centers on two primary characters, while a crew remains a crucial aspect of the interstellar story. First Officer Jara Rydek has always dreamed of becoming a U.S. S. captain and she’s determined to take on difficult tasks for the Federation, while Engineering Crewperson Carter Diaz merely always wanted to explore the galaxy.
With how crucial teamwork is to the crew inanyStar Trekstory,Star Trek: Resurgence’s reveal trailer shows off just two of many characters that will be important to the plot and gameplay. Dramatic Labs showed off small pieces of gameplay in the reveal trailer, focusing on Diaz firing a phaser at electrically charged orbs clinging to the ship and Rydek using a Tricorder to scan for hidden things such as palm prints. The trailer also shows one of the many decisions that the First Officer will have to make in a doubtlessly tense situation in which she can choose to follow her orders or disobey her superiors.
Dramatic Labs is a new independent game developer created by veterans from Telltale Games, the studio behind titles such asThe Walking Deadseries,The Wolf Among Us, andTales From the Borderlands. Telltale Games was hit with mass layoffs back in 2018 and a number of developers that departed the studio moved on to Dramatic Labs. Telltale Games was able to rebound under new leadership and that studio continues to work on titles likeThe Wolf Among Us 2and a game based onThe Expansetelevision series.
While a player’s decisions are notably at the core ofStar Trek: Resurgence, it’s also an important aspect of mostTelltale Games. Because of their experience on big franchises with Telltale Games,Star Trekfans can rest assured that Dramatic Labs knows the importance of the franchise. Although the upcoming action game releases in the spring, little has been revealed aboutStar Trek: Resurgencebeyond the trailer featured during The Game Awards.
