New Star Trek Title In The Works

Posted by Zonk on from the live-long-and-game dept.

Now that there are no new shows planned for the immediate future, you're going to need something besides Wrath of Khan and SpikeTV reruns to satisfy your Trek fix. Luckily, Gamespot reports that there is a Star Trek real-time strategy game in the works. From the article: "Late this past Friday, Lang returned to the STGU board to confirm a new Star Trek game was indeed the works--although he avoided details. He dodged the subject of the game's title but appeared to confirm the release date mentioned in the forums. 'Like I said before, traditional ST single player/multi player games have returned--and before STO ships,' Lang said, referring to Star Trek Online's tentative early 2007 launch window."

    Legacy, being developed by Mad Doc Software, is set for a September 2006 release, and will span the eras of all Star Trek television shows--Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise.

    they're going in a similar route that Dawn Of War went for Warhammer 40k, and adapting Star Fleet Battles as the basis for the game.

    Obviously things need to change from turn based to RTS, but I'd like to see it. Maybe a combination of SF Battles and Pirates! That would rock.

    the Armada series is already an above-average space-based Star Trek RTS. Built off the Age of Empires system, I believe.
