Bethseda Softworks announced yesterday that they have acquired the license to one of Sci-Fi's holy grails, Star Trek. The agreement gives Bethseda, best known for their Elder Scrolls titles, publishing rights for all gaming consoles, handhelds and PCs covering the entire Star Trek franchise. The publisher has two titles scheduled to ship this year, to coincide with the series 40th anniversary, with Star Trek: Legacy heading to the PC.
The new PC and Xbox 360 RTS will give players the role of an Admiral of a task force as you battle through battles large and small. The real-time combat will include authentic ships, full damage modeling and "spectacular" visual effects with the story carrying players through the entire Star Trek universe, from the original to Enterprise.
Star Trek: Legacy will come with multiplayer support, allowing you to blow away your friends while set in 3D space environments complete with nebulas, wormholes, planets, and stars. Developing the title will be Mad Doc Software, creators of the successful 2001 Star Trek title, Star Trek Armada II.
"Being able to work with the entire universe of this beloved series is an incredibly exciting opportunity for us," said Todd Vaughn, vice president of development for Bethesda Softworks. "We have some great ideas about where we want to go with this license and having the exclusive right to develop and publish Star Trek games across all platforms ensures that every Star Trek game will be a quality game worthy of its name."
