Star Trek: Resurgence finally lands a release date and it’s closer than you realize

Star Trek: Resurgence has a release date!

Star Trek has found itself in a hotbed of activity recently. They have countless new shows, a Paramount+ exclusive film in the works, a toy line that is just getting more and more bolstered, and a video game in the form of Star Trek: Prodigy’s Supernova.

Yet, they’re falling behind in the eyes of many when it comes to other powerhouse franchises like Star Wars, at least when it comes to video games. Star Wars is producing some stellar video games recently, notably the Star Wars Jedi series, with the second in the series, Survivor, dropping on April 28.

Trek’s next big game is the long-gestating Star Trek: Resurgence, designed along the lines of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead, where it’s more of an interactive movie than an action-adventure game.

Well, the in-demand adventure is coming sooner rather than later. Originally it was supposed to be out early in 2022 but was delayed and now those patient fans don’t have to wait much longer, as they can get the game on May 23rd.

The game will be available on PS4 and PS5, as well as the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S, as well as on PC.

It will not be coming out on the Nintendo Switch, at least not yet.

What is Star Trek: Resurgence about?

While you’ll have total control over your player character, most of the game is going to be about interaction and deciding the events of the story. Imagine it as an explorative, choose-your-own-adventure book.

As far as when the games’ events are set, it’s set in 2380, which is after the Next Generation era of films but far before Picard. It’ll run concurrently alongside the first season of Lower Decks, but don’t expect any crossover.

The biggest selling point of the game, at least beyond the Telltales’ like format, is the inclusion of Ambassador Spock, which would make his last canonical appearance in Star Trek before he went back in time and accidentally created the Kelvin Timeline.
