Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic World have revealed Star Trek Online: Agents of Yesterday, the third expansion for the Star Trek-themed free-to-play MMORPG. The game, which will be available this summer and is timed to celebrate Trek's landmark 50th anniversary, will allow players to create a new captain in the Star Trek: The Original Series timeline, where they will take command of an era-appropriate ship and begin their own adventures.
Agents of Yesterday will feature two familiar
TOS characters and five new ships, as well as the U.S.S. Enterprise. Locations taken directly from the series include Taurus VII and Edren, better known as the Gorn Rock Planet. Heightening the excitement and
TOS connection,
TOS legend Walter Koenig and Chris Doohan, son of James Doohan, will bring both Chekov and Montgomery "Scotty" Scott to life in the game.
“
Star Trek Online has been able to explore other eras in the franchise from
Star Trek: Enterprise to
Star Trek: Voyager, while continuing to add to the core
Star Trek narrative,” said Steve Ricossa, executive producer of
Star Trek Online. “The 50th anniversary of
Star Trek presents a unique opportunity and challenge for our team, to faithfully venture back in time to one of the most iconic science-fiction settings and eras in television history. Combining
Star Trek: The Original Series with
Star Trek Online allows us to take players on some new and unique adventures in a time period that is beloved by fans.”
