Nicely this is one thing that wasn’t on my Summer time Sport Fest bingo card. Bloober Workforce, the studio behind the likes of Observer and 2024’s elegant Silent Hill 2 remake, has unveiled its newest foray into the dread world of horror: a Star Trek sport coming subsequent 12 months.
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is formally described as a “sci-fi psychological thriller” unfolding on a mysterious – and decidedly hostile – uncharted planet. Our unfortunate protagonist is one Ro Laren, seen in each Star Trek: The Subsequent Era and Picard, who’ll as soon as once more be performed by Michelle Forbes.
Laren’s nightmare begins when she crashlands after making an attempt to reply to a misery name. “The planet is a spaceship graveyard the place nothing is because it appears,” explains writer Paramount. “As she explores the planet’s corrupted floor and crosses paths with different survivors, she should face twisted creatures, a hostile ecosystem, and an entity that seeks to envelop her physique and thoughts.” And behold: a teaser trailer.
Talking as a fan of the studio’s typically uneven however often attention-grabbing stuff, Bloober and Star Trek appears like an intriguing mixture, even when it is apparently not the primary time the legendary sci-fi sequence has gone horror on the planet of video video games (that honour seems to go to VR title Star Trek: An infection). We’ll know the way it all works out when Star Trek: Shadow Frontier launches for PlayStation 5, Xbox Sequence X/S, and PC in some unspecified time in the future “subsequent 12 months”.
Bloober, after all, has lots happening proper now. Following on from 2025’s sci-fi horror Cronos: The New Daybreak, the studio has confirmed it is also engaged on a remake of Silent Hill 1 for Konami and a third correct entry in its Layers of Worry sequence. That is alongside a lot of different video games, a few of which – together with the Swap-exclusive Undertaking M – are being made in partnership with Bloober’s subsidiary studio Damaged Mirror Video games.
