Dramatic Labs, the team that formerly made up Telltale Games, announced during The Game Awards development on a new choice-based narrative set in the Star Trek franchise. Star Trek: Resurgence will take fans boldly where they haven’t been before as their choices will affect the story being told. Watch the trailer below…
Star Trek: Resurgence is described as “an interactive narrative video game that tells an original story set in the era shortly after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Stationed aboard the U.S.S. RESOLUTE, players will assume the role of two principal characters, First Officer Jara Rydek and Engineering Crewperson Carter Diaz, as they unravel a sinister mystery involving two alien civilizations on the brink of war. Throughout the game, players will immerse themselves in the Star Trek Universe, interacting with new and returning characters through a variety of dialogue and action gameplay to determine the course of the story.”
Dramatic Labs’ founder Kevin Bruner is developing the game with several former Telltale developers. Under Telltale, they produced The Wolf Among Us, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series, Game of Thrones: The Telltale Series, Batman: The Telltale Series and its sequel Batman: The Enemy Within. Several of their games, in particular Wolf Among Us and Batman, have received very wide acclaim from fans and critics alike.
“As fans of Star Trek, it’s truly an honor to be crafting a story which puts players right in the heart of the action, where significant choices and decisions will affect the entire narrative,” said Bruner. “Built from the ground up using Epic’s Unreal engine and our proprietary narrative engine, this game showcases our team’s evolution in creating thought-provoking story-rich adventures.”
The Star Trek: Resurgence team includes Andrew Grant, former Lead Writer and Creative Director at Telltale, Dan Martin, former Lead Writer at Telltale, Kent Mudle, former Cinematic Director and Creative Director at Telltale and Brett Tosti, former Executive Producer and Creative Director at Telltale.
“We’re thrilled to be working with the team at Dramatic Labs on an exciting new adventure in the Star Trek franchise,” said Lourdes Arocho, Senior Vice President, Paramount Pictures Licensing, Global Games and Publishing, ViacomCBS Consumer Products. “Players will boldly set forth into this new adventure, meeting familiar characters and new cultures, while interacting with them in profound and impactful ways. This game will challenge players to make those similar tough choices that iconic Star Trek heroes have been forced to contend with.”
