Paramount Games Studio and Bloober Team have announced Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a new science-fiction psychological thriller for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Star Trek: Shadow Frontier will launch in 2027 with Michelle Forbes starring as protagonist Ro Laren.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
EXPLORE – A TREK INTO THE UNKNOWN
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a mature, story-driven, 3rd person action-adventure set in the expansive Star Trek universe. After crashing onto a distant planet overtaken by a strange consciousness, Ro Laren must survive in an environment that is as breathtaking as it is lethal.
In true Star Trek fashion, Ro’s mission is driven by duty and purpose. But here, discovery comes at a terrible cost. The more she uncovers, the deeper she is pulled into a corrupted labyrinth where her memories twist and the planet threatens to sever her connection to reality.
Only by solving the mysteries of this strange world can Ro hope to make peace with the demons of her past, boldly going into the heart of darkness like never before.
INVESTIGATE – THE LETHAL PLANET
A planet-wide entity has overtaken the landscape… and weaponizes it. Creatures spawned within this environment patrol the lands and strike without warning, forcing Ro into desperate fights and narrow escapes.
Each encounter will test your resolve as much as your skill. You’ll need to stay alert, pay attention to your surroundings and choose whether to engage in combat or outmaneuver your enemies.
SURVIVE – FEAR TAKES ON MANY FORMS
The hostile ecosystem poses a constant threat to Ro’s existence. It seeks to absorb Ro’s consciousness, burrowing deep into her mind and plaguing her with haunting visions.
Environmental hazards and obstacles lurk around every corner. Exploration is both your only path to salvation and your potential undoing.
Make full use of iconic Star Trek technology to gain an advantage: use your Tricorder to scan and analyze items and rely on your trusty Phaser to solve puzzles and fend off enemies.
STAR TREK LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier charts a bold new course for Star Trek: a mature, psychological action-adventure that honors the franchise’s core values of curiosity and courage. Venture with Ro Laren beyond the edge of charted space… and beyond the limits of sanity.
Balanced and varied gameplay blends exploration, puzzles, combat and cinematic set-pieces into a gripping, story-driven adventure that rewards patience, observation, and smart decision-making.
Explore. Investigate. Survive.
