I bet this was not on anyone’s (not) E3 Bingo cards, horror masters and Layers of Fear creators. Bloober Team, are making a Star Trek game!
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier will star fan favourite Ro Laren who has crashed on what appears to be a sentient planet. The trailer looks suitably spooky with slithering tentacles, scuttling creatures, and a voice-over intoning “this time there is no coming back from this”
Ro is a Bajoran who served on the Enterprise D under Jean-Luc Picard, before defecting to the Maquis. After serving time in prison, she returned to Starfleet and ended up on Deep Space Nine as head of security. She was last seen in the TV series Picard where she met her demise.
The actress who played Ro in the television shows, Michelle Forbes, has returned for voice and motion capture for the game.
As for the voice heard in the trailer, it does seem that Ro knows who it is, so it could be an established character.
“As she explores the planet’s corrupted surface and crosses paths with other survivors, she must face twisted creatures, a hostile ecosystem, and an entity that seeks to envelop her body and mind,” states the press release.
The game is ‘coming soon’ on PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
