OCTOBER 13, 2023 - In a celestial collaboration, Paradox Interactive and Nimble Giant Entertainment have launched Star Trek: Infinite, a grand strategy game that offers a fresh voyage into the iconic universe of Star Trek, now available on PC and Mac. Announced on October 12, 2023, the game is priced at $29.99 with a Deluxe Edition available for $39.99 on Steam, which includes a digital artbook, the game's soundtrack, and an in-game music pack featuring compositions from Star Trek’s original soundtrack composers.

Set roughly two decades before the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Infinite allows players to lead one of the four major galactic factions: the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire. This game plunges players into the heart of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, offering a dynamic gameplay experience filled with intricate decision-making challenges. With utmost fidelity to the Star Trek lore, it introduces new exploration avenues, complex economic systems, and interaction with enigmatic civilizations.

Star Trek: Infinite boasts not only a rich storytelling and deep strategic gameplay but also provides multiple paths to victory through diplomacy, espionage, warfare, or a combination of all. Martin Cao, CEO of Nimble Giant Entertainment, shared the team's enthusiasm and dedication in creating an immersive experience for both long-time fans and newcomers alike. 

"Star Trek: Infinite represents a monumental achievement for our team at Nimble Giant Entertainment. We've poured our passion for the Star Trek universe into every aspect of the game, striving to create an experience that captivates both long-time fans and newcomers alike,” said Cao. “With its rich storytelling and deep strategic gameplay, we hope that Star Trek: Infinite will become a beloved addition to the Star Trek gaming legacy."

Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive, emphasized the close collaboration with Paramount Consumer Products to ensure the game meets fans’ expectations for accuracy to Trek canon.

"We've been working closely with Paramount Consumer Products to ensure that this game faithfully captures the intricate lore of Star Trek," said Wester. "It's a true voyage into the heart of the Star Trek universe, allowing players to shape the galaxy's destiny through grand strategy.”

The game lets players recruit iconic characters such as Captains Picard, Janeway, Sisko, and Data among others while leading the Federation. Other factions also offer their iconic characters to enlist, expanding the Star Trek narrative in this grand strategy format. Moreover, players will have access to a diverse range of starships from the Star Trek universe, tailored to each faction's arsenal. Notably, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D can be developed and added to the Federation fleet, further enriching the gameplay.

Built upon the core systems of Stellaris, Star Trek: Infinite leverages these systems while streamlining and simplifying some aspects to resonate better with the Star Trek franchise.
