![]() (While Dilithium is an established bit of Trek lore, the two races were invented for the game.) This scene showcased Spock, who’s being skillfully voiced by Piotr Michael in Resurgence. ![]() Next, I arrived on an alien planet to help oversee negotiations between two alien races, the Hotari and Alidians, over a Dilithium mining operation. ![]() When faced with the choice to be respectful or mouth off to their superior officer, I chose to mouth off, testing the limits of how un-Star Trek I could make the scene. In the first scene, Rydek and Diaz gossiped about their crewmates before reporting to their captain on the bridge. Three scenes from Star Trek: Resurgence that we played at Summer Games Fest last month differed significantly from one another, but they also shared the similarities that you’d expect from a Telltale game. Together, they will, according to Dramatic Labs, “unravel a sinister mystery involving two civilizations on the brink of war.” In Star Trek: Resurgence, which is set after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, players assume the roles of two Starfleet members: first officer Jara Rydek and engineering ensign Carter Diaz. “So while a huge piece of the franchise is people sitting around talking, debating heavy issues, there’s also plenty of action and other types of scenes: mystery, investigation, everything you think of as Star Trek, you’re going to get a piece of that with this game.” Image: Dramatic Labs “When we looked at what you get from a Star Trek experience, we wanted to deliver on every angle of that,” said Dan Martin, Star Trek: Resurgence’s narrative lead. In addition, they’ve updated their philosophies around familiar Telltale game tentpoles like dialogue, removing the “stay silent” option in order to force players to actively engage with the game.

But Telltale’s style lives on beyond Telltale itself, thanks to Dramatic Labs’ Star Trek : Resurgence.Īfter playing a version of Star Trek : Resurgence, where I sampled three separate scenes, I got the impression of a game that sticks closely to the Telltale formula, but differentiates itself, the developer says, with more action and less complacency from players. The studio was later revived with multiple in-development projects, including The Wolf Among Us 2 and a game based on The Expanse. Until that time comes, you can listen to more developer interviews over on GamerHubTV and see exclusive gameplay over on the Shacknews YouTube channel.Fans of Telltale Games’ style of story-focused games may have been disappointed when the studio closed back in 2018.

Trekkies will no doubt have a lot of fun discovering who from the series makes it into the game. “I don’t think it’s a secret that shows up in this game,” Martin said. Martin states that this will be an all-original story set within the greater Star Trek Universe, focusing on a new characters in a new ship, the USS Resolute.įor those players hoping to see a few known names on their journey, Martin has some good news. ![]() As the Lead Writer, Dan Martin knows a thing or two about the story and setting in the game.
