Star Trek Gets Horror Game Starring Popular Character,
First Teaser Revealed
------------------------------------------------------
Star Trek is heading into much darker territory with a newly
announced video game. The upcoming title puts a fan-favorite
character at the center of a psychological thriller. The
reveal arrived during IGN Live 2026 and immediately stood out
for its horror-inspired tone. Rather than focusing on
exploration or diplomacy, the new game is a survival-focused
story packed with mystery, danger, and personal conflict.

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier announced with teaser trailer
One of the biggest surprises from Star Trek: Shadow Frontier
is the return of Ro Laren, a popular character from
Star Trek: The Next Generation. Actress Michelle Forbes is
back to voice the former lieutenant, giving longtime fans a
familiar face in what appears to be a very different kind of
Star Trek experience.

According to Paramount Games Studio and Bloober Team, the
game is a single-player, third-person action adventure with
strong psychological thriller elements. Shawn Kittelsen,
Paramount's head of creative and production, described it to
IGN as a game for both Star Trek fans and players who enjoy
tense survival stories. He also stressed that this is "not a
Star Trek game like you've ever played before."

Instead of beginning aboard a starship, the story starts with
Ro stranded on a mysterious, uncharted planet. Bloober Team's
Michal Gembicki revealed that the location is filled with
wrecked spacecraft, creating what he called a "graveyard of
ships." Ro must uncover what happened there and why so much
destruction surrounds her.

Players will use familiar Star Trek tools such as a phaser
and tricorder while exploring the hostile environment. The
developers also confirmed that hidden references and Easter
eggs for longtime Trek fans are already visible in the teaser
trailer.

The game's darker tone comes largely from Ro herself.
Kittelsen explained that the story digs into her past
decisions and personal struggles, while Gembicki said players
will confront the "skeletons in her closet" throughout the
adventure. At the same time, the team says newcomers don't
need prior knowledge of the character to enjoy the story.
