Star Trek: Resurgencewas announced at the 2021 Game Awards, and was initially set to release last year. The developer made the difficultdecision to delay itto ensure it could deliver a polished experience. Previously, they estimated an April or May release, and it looks like they will be right on the mark.
A new tale to tell
I was a fan of Telltale back when they were a scrappy small publisher trying to resurrect the adventure genre. I kind of fell off around the time they found acclaim with theirWalking Deadgame, but not because I had a distaste for their business decisions. It was because I didn’t care about the properties they were pursuing in the way I loveSam & MaxorHomestar Runner. I probably should’ve had a distaste for their business decisions, because the company imploded due to bad management in 2018.
It’s nice to see their talent splinter off and find new outlets on their own. Here’s hoping that they find the magic withStar Trek: Resurgence, because as much as Telltale had its problems, its talent wasn’t among them. That creative force needs room to breathe, so hopefully they find it.
And then, hopefully, someone gets around to making a follow-up toStrong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People. Please.
Star Trek: Resurgencewill be hitting PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on August 07, 2025.
