Recommended Videos

Bethesda Softworks has announced the latest in its series of Star Trek titles, Star Trek: Conquest, a strategy/action title headed to the Wii and PlayStation 2 this Holiday.

The title (set in “The Next Generation” era) will give players control of Federation, Klingon, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces, leading them in a campaign to control the galaxy. In the strategy portions of the game, Wii players will be able to select and maneuver ships using the Wii remote; in battle, Conquest will switch to a real-time combat mode, where players move a starship with the Nunchuck, while aiming and firing with the Wii remote. 

The Wii title will ship with an MSRP of $29.99, and while PlayStation 2 players won’t get any wild motion controls, the game will cost them ten dollars less ($19.99, for those not mathematically inclined). And just when I packed away my Klingon and Ferengi make-up  prosthetics for the summer!

STAR TREK®: Conquest to be Released for the
Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system

August 3, 2007 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced its next STAR TREK videogame, STAR TREK®: Conquest, a blend of strategy and intense action set in “The Next Generation” era. Conquest will be available for the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo and PlayStation®2.

Players take control of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces and lead them in a campaign to control the Galaxy, one planet at a time. Build and manage your growing empire in turn-based strategy, fully utilizing the Wii Remote™ as you select and maneuver your starships throughout the large, galactic map.

Strategically, you must effectively manage limited resources to expand your empire. You decide how to best achieve objectives by managing your fleets and admirals, building support structures, researching technology, and engaging your enemies in combat.

Once battle is initiated, Conquest switches to a ship level tactical view allowing direct command of your ships as you engage in real-time combat. While maneuvering your starship with the Nunchuk™, take direct aim and fire away with the Wii Remote™.

Conquest has not yet been rated by the ESRB. Scheduled for a simultaneous release this Holiday at an estimated MSRP of $29.99 on the Wii™ and $19.99 on the PlayStation®2. For more information visit http://startrek.bethsoft.com.
