Paramount Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Interactive, CBS and Naked Sky Entertainment have announced the May release of Star Trek: D-A-C, a fast-paced, top down shooter for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN. A version for PC will follower shortly after.
Inspired by the upcoming Star Trek movie from Paramount Pictures, Star Trek: D-A-C will enable players to take the captain’s chair and engage in online multiplayer or co-op battles.
“The upcoming Star Trek film has ignited interest among a new generation of fans as well as longtime fans of the original,” said Tom Lesinski, President Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment. “With that same goal in mind, Star Trek: D-A-C was designed to appeal to Star Trek fans and gamers alike. The pick up and play arcade-style game play lets fans take the command and boldly go!”
Star Trek: D-A-C allows players to take direct control of a variety of ships and be part of battles between Starfleet and the Romulan Empire. Up to 12 players can compete in team combat, with three game modes available: single player, online multiplayer and online co-op. Within each mode there will also be three different game types: Team DeathMatch, Assault and Conquest.
Players will be able to choose from three ship types (the powerful Flagship, the nimble Fighter and the devastating Bomber) for each faction, including the new U.S.S. Enterprise featured in the Star Trek film.
Star Trek: D-A-C is scheduled to launch May 2009 for Xbox LIVE Arcade and PSN. PC gamers will get their Star Trek fix shortly after.
