SAN RAFAEL, CA -- August 2, 2023 -- Dramatic Labs, an independent game developer comprised of veterans of Telltale Games, in collaboration with ViacomCBS Consumer Products, announced today that it is bringing Star Trek: Resurgence to retail on October 6th 2023. This choice-driven narrative adventure, previously only available on digital platforms, will now also be available on disc for Xbox Series X and Xbox One, PlayStation®5, and PlayStation®4 gaming consoles.
Dramatic Labs is also pleased to announce a complimentary upgrade for any PlayStation 4 owners who have purchased the digital version of the game prior to the PlayStation 5 version being available. For a limited time, they will be able to digitally upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version at no charge. Dramatic Labs is also adding further language support to the game in the form of German, Latin-American Spanish, and Traditional Chinese subtitles.
Praised for its authentic take on the iconic sci-fi universe, Star Trek: Resurgence was an immediate hit with fans worldwide. Set in the era shortly after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it features the revered Ambassador Spock, and sees Jonathan Frakes return as the indomitable Captain William T. Riker. Players assume the role of two crewmembers stationed aboard the U.S.S. RESOLUTE on a mission to prevent an eons-old and powerful force from engulfing everything in its wake.
“As our first post-Telltale adventure, it’s been truly humbling to have Star Trek fans across the world respond to our game so positively,” said Kevin Bruner, Founder of Dramatic Labs. “It’s been thrilling to see them spot all the references and call out the accuracy we’ve tried to recreate, down to the tiniest detail. We can’t wait to see more fans make tough decisions aboard the RESOLUTE.”
Dramatic Labs is a team of Telltale Games veterans who have worked on some of the most beloved interactive story games of all time. Led by Kevin Bruner, the co-founder and former CEO of Telltale, the team includes Andrew Grant, Dan Martin, Kent Mudle, and Brett Tosti, all of whom have held key creative and leadership roles at Telltale. With their deep experience in interactive storytelling, Dramatic Labs is poised to create exciting games that will transport players to new worlds and let them experience the thrill of making meaningful choices.
Star Trek: Resurgence can be pre-ordered now from retail stores and is already available for digital download for Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5, and PlayStation®4 gaming consoles, and for PC exclusively from the Epic Games Store.
