What Is Star Trek: Resurgence?
‘Star Trek: Resurgence‘ is set to be a single player, 3rd person, narrative driven adventure game. Your choices will affect the outcome of the story, similar to Detroit: Become Human or the Telltale Games style of dialogue driven storytelling.
Other reported game mechanics include shuttle piloting, phaser combat, stealth and more. Relationship building amongst your crew of characters will reportedly be an important aspect of gameplay. Also giving long time fans the “drama” that the series is also known for.
Beyond the game itself, there is also a comic book series currently in print. The comic book run is said to be a direct prelude to the story players will experience in the game!

How About The Setting?
Resurgence will take place in the year 2380, which is just after the era of Star Trek: The Next Generation films. The player will be in control of 2 main protagonists, both having an effect on the same story. Meaning you will switch between the 2 characters throughout the game, with each character’s choices potentially affecting the other along the way.
The story features an all new cast of characters and a brand new Federation vessel to its place among names like The Enterprise and The Defiant. It has been teased that the player wil have the opportunity to interact with other known characters from the television series, but none have been confirmed by name as of yet.
