Star Trek MMOG
Perpetual
Entertainment are set to produce a MMOG (Massive MultiPlayer Online
Game) set in the Star Trek Universe.
They have secured the exclusive worldwide rights from Viacom Consumer Products
and the license encompasses all live-action motion pictures and television
series including, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next
Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager,
and Star Trek: Enterprise.
This gives them massive scope to develop the game universe as they are not
restricted to just one show or era.
The game will deliver action, adventure and combat mechanics unique to persistent
world games. Its design includes a rich array of solo and multiplayer
missions set in space, on planets and in starbases throughout the universe. At
launch, it will take place during the 24th century timeline in the
series with other aspects of the Star Trek universe to be interwoven
and added through expansions.
The game is expected to enter public beta testing in 2006 and to launch by
early 2007. For more information, see http://gaming.startrek.com for “Frequently
Asked Questions” about the game.
Lets hope this game doesn’t fall into the quagmire that so many other Star
Trek and MMOG’s have disappeared into.
