Overview
- Paramount Games Studio revealed both projects on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, announcing Star Trek: Shadow Frontier’s 2027 release window and a playable PC demo for Star Trek: Outposts Unknown.
- Shadow Frontier is a mature, third-person psychological-horror action-adventure developed by Bloober Team and will release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2027.
- The announced story for Shadow Frontier puts Lieutenant Ro Laren, played by Michelle Forbes, on a mission after a crash on a planet overtaken by a strange consciousness where her memories and reality are distorted.
- Outposts Unknown comes from publisher Playstack and developer Magic Fuel Games as a narrative-led 23rd-century colony-builder set in the X’Lehari System with early demo content on Steam that showcases colony construction on the planet Daegus.
- Paramount’s strategy uses specialist partners to broaden Star Trek’s tone and mechanics, aiming to reach new players with darker, character-driven narratives and deeper systems play while diversifying the franchise beyond recent television releases.
