Together, they will unravel a mystery involving two alien civilizations on the brink of war. Two of the crew are playable characters: First Officer Jara Rydek and Carter Diaz of the engineering team. Star Trek: Resurgence comes to PlayStation, Xbox, and Epic Games Store in 2022.Announced at The Game Awards 2021, Star Trek: Resurgence is an original story set shortly after Star Trek: The Next Generation, and follows the crew of the U.S.S. “I can't wait to show more of it to the world.” “It's a big meaty Star Trek experience we don't think people have had before,” says Mudle. With the franchise more popular than ever as it cruises through its sixth (!) decade, the team at Dramatic Labs thinks the time is right for Trek games to match the ambition of their cinematic and streaming counterparts. And people talking to each other in rooms is kind of our bread and butter.” “Star Trek - for all its spaceship flights and lasers and explosions - is a franchise of a lot of people talking to each other in rooms in space. But story and character and moral dilemmas have always been so much the focus,” he says. There have been tactical games, third-person shooters, and point-and-click adventure games from the ‘90s. “It felt like unexplored territory in Star Trek video games. Cinematic Director Kent Mudle says that Telltale-inspired approach was a natural fit for the Star Trek universe.Ĭarter Diaz decided to skip the Academy and enlist in Starfleet so he could see the galaxy. But the core gameplay focuses on exploration and dialogue-driven role-playing. Resurgence will feature some puzzle elements and even the occasional phaser shootout (so keep an eye on your redshirts).
So that was our area that we were able to have some uncharted territory to tell our story.” “People talking to each other in rooms is kind of our bread and butter.” “We didn't want to bump into the Romulan supernova that Picard talks about and the 2009 J.J. Setting it right after TNG movies gave us a little bit of space that had not been deeply explored, but still felt like it was of that timeframe,” Martin tells Inverse. “A lot of us who were on the production were fans of Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. After that point, the Trek canon starts to get real complicated real fast. Martin says that specific time period was the perfect fit for telling a new original story. Resurgence takes place in 2380, immediately after the events of the Next Generation films. Spock might be a diplomat now, but he’s willing to bend the rules a bit when logic dictates. “It was a lot of fun to write for Spock - it just kind of felt like you're already in conversation with him, particularly when we have so many new characters that we're writing for.” “He's such a well-defined character with such a distinctive voice - there's a real strike zone that you want to hit in the writing,” Martin says.
Martin says Spock provided a known variable among the new personalities Resurgence introduces. One we already know about is Ambassador Spock, who counsels the senior bridge crew of the Resolute about a dilithium dispute brewing between the humble Hotari and the militaristic Alydians.

As the first officer, Jara’s very close to the top but she still has the captain above her, and the senior staff below her - she's always managing up and down the chain of command. “I thought it'd be interesting to spend some time outside of the sphere of the bridge. Resurgence Lead Writer Dan Martin says the team looked to beloved TNG episode “Lower Decks” and TNG/DS9’s engineer Miles O’Brien as sources of inspiration for the story they wanted to tell. “We didn't want to bump into the Romulan supernova.” That opens up some intriguing possibilities - will Jara and Carter be in sync, or will one be an action-seeking hothead and the other a methodical diplomat? That’s up to you. Their differing roles on the ship mean you’ll experience the adventure from both the bridge and the lower decks, and each character’s choices can impact how the other’s journey plays out.
