Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is Bloober Team's new game, and Paramount wants it to be the best Star Trek game ever

IGN Live revealed Star Trek: Shadow Frontier — a new game from Bloober Team, the studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake and Cronos: The New Dawn. Michelle Forbes reprises her role as Ro Laren from The Next Generation, stranded alone on an alien planet. Paramount Games Studio, which now brings together all Paramount and Skydance gaming operations, is backing the project heavily.

Paramount Games Studio SVP Shawn Kittelsen told IGN directly: "The goal is for Bloober to make the best Star Trek game of all time, if we can bring that to life." That's a high bar — the franchise has decades of games behind it, from Bridge Commander and Birth of the Federation to Star Trek Online.

Despite Bloober's horror pedigree, Kittelsen describes Shadow Frontier as a psychological thriller rather than a horror game, comparing it to Ninja Theory's Hellblade series. The focus is on Ro Laren's inner psychological conflict — what Kittelsen calls intrapersonal rather than interpersonal drama, a storytelling thread that runs deep in Trek history. Forbes's character never got enough spotlight in The Next Generation, and this game is built around fixing that. Kittelsen also says the project will prove Bloober has range beyond horror.

The tone stays true to Star Trek's optimism — Kittelsen says you can go dark, but the story always needs "some anchor in the light of boldly going." No release date or platforms were announced at the reveal." }
