Explore the Enterprise Like Never Before in STAR TREK

The Video Game

For more than four decades, the U.S.S.Enterprisehas been a majestic icon of adventure and

excitement. On board, her crew explores strange new worlds, seeks out new civilizations

But what fans have known of the iconic starship has largely been limited to what is seen in movies and

on television. That will change on April 26 when STAR TREK The Video Gamegives players a deeper

and much more interactive look inside the U.S.S.Enterprise.

One of the great joys of video games is the opportunity to take audiences to places that are only

hinted at in traditional film and TV projects, said Brian Miller, senior vice president of Paramount

Pictures and executive producer of STAR TREK The Video Game.Giving gamers the opportunity to

explore the U.S.S.Enterpriseis one of the more exciting aspects of our video game and one that we

cant wait to share with Star Trekfans and gamers worldwide.

Playing as Kirk and Spock, gamers must face-off against the villainous Gorn the formidable enemy

first introduced in the classic 1967 Star Trektelevision episode Arena. Their battles will take them

into familiar locations, like the bridge, transporter room and the engine room but also deep into

many areas of the ship that have never been seen on film before, including the Enterprises turbolift

shafts, observation lounge, engineering decks and officers quarters.The producers and development

team of STAR TREK The Video Gameworked closely with the entire creative team responsible for

the re-imagined 2009 blockbuster Star Trek film to ensure what players see will look and feel

remarkably authentic.

The Enterpriseis not just a ship she is one of the most important characters in all of Star Trek. Our

goal from day one was to make sure that the Enterpriselooks, feels and even sounds as true to life as

anything players have ever seen, Miller said.Hopefully, players will come away feeling as if theyre

ready to be part of the crew themselves!

STAR TREK The Video Game will be available April 26, 2013, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Enterprise is just one of many areas of the starship players can explore in STAR TREK THE VIDEO

STAR TREK The Video Game Introduces New Vulcan Heroes

On April 26, STAR TREKThe Video Gamereunites the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprisefor an

amazing, completely new Star Trekadventure and alongside Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhura,

Chekov and Sulu will be two new characters making their first appearances in the Star Trek universe.

As the game begins, Kirk and Spock are called to aid in the rescue of a mysterious space station that

is heading towards catastrophe. Upon their arrival, Kirk and Spock meet a female Vulcan scientist

named TMar, who plays a prominent role in the action-packed journey that awaits.

TMar is the captain of the space station and was a childhood friend of Spock, says Paramount SeniorVice President and Executive Producer Brian Miller. Her blend of incredible intelligence and

unexpected beauty prove intriguing to Kirk.

As the story progresses, TMar joins Kirk and Spock as they travelto New Vulcan, a planet that orbits

a binary star and was colonized by Vulcans after the destruction of their home world, seen in 2009s

Star Trek. There, they find Surok a great Vulcan leader.

When we crafted this story we wanted to make sure the player realizes that the usually logical, Spock

can have very emotional connections to the ones he cares about," adds Miller. "Surok was one of

Spocks childhood mentors and is also TMars father. Together, they are helping to lead the

colonization of New Vulcan.

As the game progresses, players will learn that Surok is one of the lone survivors of a vicious attack

on the New Vulcan planet by the villainous Gorn. Why they have attacked and what they want are at

the heart of STAR TREK The Video Game.

Video games are not only exciting to play, theyve become a compelling medium for telling stories, so

with Star Trek, we had an amazing opportunity to introduce new characters that are integral to the

plot of our game," Miller says. "Our games story is canonto the new Star Trekuniverse, so we had a

great responsibility to get these new characters right, and to make them exciting and meaningful to

players."

Throughout the story, both TMar and Surok play key roles in helping Kirk and Spock uncover more

about the brutal attacks that the Gorn have been engaging in across the galaxy. They also reveal thatthe Gorn have stolen a mysterious machine known as the Helios Device one whose functions could

prove disastrous in the hands of an enemy as ruthless as the Gorn.

For players who want to simply enjoy the experience of playing as Kirk and Spock, Star Trekis going

to be a great game experience, Miller says. But for those eager to dig deeper into a robust story, we

hope its an adventure that will excite both longtime fans and game enthusiasts alike.
