Overview
- Bloober Team and Paramount Games Studio revealed Star Trek: Shadow Frontier during IGN Live on Saturday, June 6, announcing a 2027 release window for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
- The game places Next Generation character Ro Laren at its center with Michelle Forbes returning to voice and motion-capture the role as Ro crash-lands on an uncharted planet described as a “spaceship graveyard.”
- Publishers describe Shadow Frontier as a story-driven, third-person action-adventure that blends exploration, puzzles, combat, and cinematic set-pieces while using Star Trek tools such as the Tricorder and Phaser.
- A hostile, planet-wide consciousness will threaten Ro’s mind with haunting visions and creatures, and the Steam wishlist page already lists preliminary PC requirements including an AMD Ryzen 2700, 8 GB RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1660.
- The announcement expands Bloober’s crowded slate and signals Paramount Games Studio’s move toward larger AAA Star Trek projects, a shift that could lead to more big-budget Trek games if Shadow Frontier proves successful.
