For some, the post-TNG era of Star Trek feels overused. There were several excellent films (no questions, please) and new iterations of Star Trek set in the years following the end of Captain Picard’s story—including an eponymous show of his own. There are also at least a dozen games set in the TNG and post-TNG universe, including the massively successful Star Trek Online, but none of them really captured the true spirit of Starfleet.
It seems fitting, then, that as the cinematic universe closes on the story of Picard and the rest of the Enterprise D’s crew, a new game carrying on the lore from my favorite era emerges. Launching in May, Star Trek: Resurgence is set in 2380, right after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis and roughly 16 years after Picard, Riker and co set out on their continuing mission to explore strange new worlds.
The team at Dramatic Labs—a small group of around 30 mostly ex-Telltale employees who are self-confessed Trekkies—had a vision for a Star Trek game long before Resurgence was in development. The Telltale formula of a strong narrative combined with morally grey decision-making and plenty of QTEs seemed to fit the Star Trek storytelling style perfectly—Star Trek is, after all, historically a series weaving a complicated narrative about the wider universe.
