Namco Bandai to co-publish Digital Extremes' Star Trek photo

Hot off The Darkness II, it's been announced that Namco Bandai has signed with Paramount Pictures to co-publish and distribute the upcoming Star Trek in development at Digital Extremes for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3. This co-op game is set to come out in Q1 of 2013, prior to J.J. Abrams' next movie hitting theaters on May 17.

Though I'm traditionally wary of videogames even remotely attached to films, it's hard for me not to be excited about the game. It's got an original story, lets you play as Spock and Kirk, and you're fighting to stop a "legendary enemy race." Even if things go sour, Star Trek should be interesting at the very least.

I love pretty much everything Star Trek, but this one has me cautious...

Mostly because Zach Quinto licks taint.

The Darkness 2 is pretty great. I really would like them to do another Unreal game, Im sure Im alone on that, I think many hated Unreal 2.

Mass E-Trek. From it's presentation it looked promising, can't deny the co-op has me interested.

Isn't this supposed to be set between the movies, like the comic is? Either way, I really want to know more about it.

@nitex: I personally loved that one.

I hope its like elite team or wtfever that fps one was called. That game was so awesome. Release a HD version at least so we can do mp on current systems. Damn I miss that. Shogo also.

NO RAVEN?

Is Digital Extremes the new Raven, except free to the highest bidder. So I guess not like Raven at all

@Silent Considering it seemed like the crew weren't able to figure out the plot for some time (and JJ doing other stuff), that is probably why they haven't been filming until this year.
