Star Trek: Shadow Frontier launches in 2027 for XBOX, PlayStation 5, and PC

Paramount Games Studio and developer Bloober Team revealed Star Trek: Shadow Frontier during the IGN Live Showcase. The new Star Trek game will release in 2027 for XBOX Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.

Today, Bloober Team shared a first look at the new sci-fi psychological thriller title set on a mysterious, uncharted planet. It follows the protagonist and a member of the Bajoran species, Ro Laren, brought to life by Star Trek actress Michelle Forbes.

“We’ve long admired the way Bloober Team crafts deeply immersive, atmospheric experiences that keep players on the edge of their seats,” said Shawn Kittelsen, SVP, Head of Creative and Production at Paramount Games Studio. “For Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, it was essential to partner with a studio that could both honor that legacy and push it forward. We have full confidence in Bloober’s ability to deliver a game that does justice to the Star Trek name while bringing something bold and new to the beloved franchise.”

This is the second game that Paramount Games Studio revealed this weekend since they announced the new unified gaming studio. During Summer Game Fest 2026, TMNT: The Last Ronin was revealed in partnership with PlatinumGames.

Below is an overview of Star Trek: Shadow Frontier via its store listing:

EXPLORE – A TREK INTO THE UNKNOWN

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is a mature, story-driven, 3rd person action-adventure set in the expansive Star Trek universe. After crashing onto a distant planet overtaken by a strange consciousness, Ro Laren must survive in an environment that is as breathtaking as it is lethal.

In true Star Trek fashion, Ro’s mission is driven by duty and purpose. But here, discovery comes at a terrible cost. The more she uncovers, the deeper she is pulled into a corrupted labyrinth where her memories twist and the planet threatens to sever her connection to reality.

Only by solving the mysteries of this strange world can Ro hope to make peace with the demons of her past, boldly going into the heart of darkness like never before.

INVESTIGATE – THE LETHAL PLANET

A planet-wide entity has overtaken the landscape… and weaponizes it. Creatures spawned within this environment patrol the lands and strike without warning, forcing Ro into desperate fights and narrow escapes.

Each encounter will test your resolve as much as your skill. You’ll need to stay alert, pay attention to your surroundings and choose whether to engage in combat or outmaneuver your enemies.

SURVIVE – FEAR TAKES ON MANY FORMS

The hostile ecosystem poses a constant threat to Ro’s existence. It seeks to absorb Ro’s consciousness, burrowing deep into her mind and plaguing her with haunting visions.

Environmental hazards and obstacles lurk around every corner. Exploration is both your only path to salvation and your potential undoing.

Make full use of iconic Star Trek technology to gain an advantage: use your Tricorder to scan and analyze items and rely on your trusty Phaser to solve puzzles and fend off enemies.
