Here’s one we didn’t see coming. This year’s 60th anniversary of Star Trek just got a little more exciting with the announcement of a brand new game crossing over life in Starfleet with classic building sim, Sim City. The game, from Magic Fuel Games and Playstack, has a demo available now on PC with a release date set to be announced in the near future.
In Star Trek: Outposts Unknown, players take command of the outpost builder-ship, the U.S.S. Resonant, leading a crew across strange new worlds shaped by iconic Star Trek technology, scientific discovery, and interstellar mystery. As exploration expands across the system, a mysterious cosmic force threatens a new ally, requiring careful leadership, coordination of crew, and strategic planning.
