Star Trek: Infinite Gets First Trailer (& It’s Set In The Best Era)

Star Trek: Infinite, an upcoming strategy game set a few decades before Star Trek: The Next Generation, has been announced with an exciting teaser trailer at Summer Game Fest 2023. The full reveal for the game will take place, fittingly, on Picard Day, June 16, 2023, but already the teaser trailer has caused some hype. Star Trek: Infinite‘s debut announcement comes less than one month after the interactive narrative game Star Trek: Resurgence was released.

Star Trek: Infinite will take place at an as-of-yet-unspecified date, confirmed to be a few decades before TNG on the Trek timeline, and Captain Picard himself is featured in the promotional artwork, suggesting that he may play a significant role.

The game will let players take control of one of the four biggest powers in the Star Trek galaxy and present difficult choices for players as they can contact other worlds. Playing as either the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or the Klingon Empire, prospective commanders will have to strategize and navigate their way through the game.

Star Trek: Infinite Promises A Return To The TNG Era

The trailer teases some familiar-sounding types of hostile interactions between a Federation ship and the Borg. Until more is revealed about the game, it is unclear if it will be played as more of a 4x game similar to Civilization

 types of strategy or have more of a hands-on approach for negotiations, flying, and even combat. As one of the largest sci-fi franchises, any game set in the environment of Star Trek will face some tough scrutiny from fans, but this trailer appears to show it is on a positive trajectory for successful entry into the Star Trek video games market.
