Nov. 2, 2015 – CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new “Star Trek” television series in January 2017. The brand-new “Star Trek” will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966. The new series will blast off with a special preview broadcast on the CBS Television Network. The premiere episode and all subsequent first-run episodes will then be available exclusively in the United States on CBS All Access, the Network’s digital subscription video on demand and live streaming service.Pictured left to right: Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Denise Crosby as Lieutenant Tasha Yar, Marina Sirtis as Counselor Deanna Troi and John de Lancie as "Q" in STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATIONScreen Grab: ©1987 CBS Broadcasting Inc.

Star Trek: Infinite is a new PC game for fans of the franchise.

It’s been a while since Star Trek has had this many games in the pipeline and coming out at once; barring mobile games that is. With the recent release of Star Trek Resurgence, and last year’s Star Trek: Prodigy: Supernova, fans have been getting their dose of Trek goodness on the gaming front.

Not to mention the constant new content for the MMORPG Star Trek Online that is constantly dropping. It’s fair to say that the brand is in a new era for the development of games for the franchise. While Supernova and Resurgence weren’t the best-reviewed properties ever, they were good enough to entertain Trek fans.

So we don’t have any doubts that the newest game offering is going to succeed. Entitled Star Trek: Infinite, the new game is coming from Nimble Giant Entertainment and is going to debut soon, at least according to Steam.

What do we know about Star Trek: Infinite

We don’t know much about Infinite, but it looks to be some type of real-time strategy game akin to Age of Empires. Usually, Nimble Giant Entertainment sticks to MMORPGs, shooters, or arena combat games, and Infinite looks unlike anything else the brand has to offer on Steam. There’s no word yet on what kind of online multiplayer it’ll have if has any.

The premise of the game sees you smack dab in the middle of the Next Generation era of Trek and allows a lot of versatility in how you play through that timeframe.

"Whether it’s the United Federation of Planets, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, or Cardassian Union, you will take on the role of the leader in charge of all the major decisions of the faction as the game unfolds. With each choice having their own civics and ethics and styles of play, your decisions will matter for how successful you will be in reaching your goals."

There are storyline quests, different playable factions, and seemingly a lot of replayability. We’re not sure when the game launches, but you can keep up with it on its official website.
