After releasing yesterday, trailers of Star Trek , the team of game development, Digital Extremes, it points out that despite the action seen in the video, the game will not be a shooter as it may seem at first sight. Creative Director, Sheldon Carter, in an interview with IGN stated that it wanted to distort what was the theme of the tv series, namely the exploration of the Galaxy looking for new worlds and new forms of alien life. The team had very clear from the beginning that would well balance the exploration and action.

We are therefore a more thoughtful, Spock character who knows the locations and will approach to situations in a more logical and more focused action, Captain Kirk. Through dialogues, the gameplay and interaction between the two companions then developed the game's plot.
