The Final Frontier: A Psychological Thriller with Ro Laren

Exploring Bloober Team’s Upcoming Star Trek Game: Shadow Frontier

Exciting news for sci-fi and horror fans alike as Bloober Team, known for their work on Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos: The New Dawn, has announced their collaboration with Paramount to develop a new Star Trek game – Star Trek: Shadow Frontier. This psychological thriller is set on an uncharted planet that has turned into a spaceship graveyard, filled with dark entities that threaten the protagonist’s sanity.

The game follows Ro Laren, a Bajoran Federation officer introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation, portrayed by original actress Michelle Forbes through voice and motion capture. As Ro explores the corrupted planet and encounters other survivors, she must navigate through twisted creatures, a hostile ecosystem, and an entity intent on consuming her mind and body.

In partnership with Paramount Games Studio, Bloober Team aims to deliver a game that stays true to the Star Trek universe while offering a fresh and bold take on the beloved franchise. With a focus on horror elements, the game promises to provide a unique adventure set in the iconic Star Trek universe.

CEO of Bloober Team, Piotr Babieno, expresses his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “By combining our passion for science fiction with our expertise in horror, we have partnered with Paramount to create something truly special. We aim to honor the legacy of Star Trek while adding our own dark, psychological thriller twist to it.”

While the game is set to release in 2027, fans can already find more information on Steam. For those interested in the process of adapting Star Trek into a game, an interview with the founder of Zachtronics about their abandoned pitch for a Next Generation engineering sim may provide valuable insights.
