Paramount Games Studio and Bloober Team have announced Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a narrative‑driven third‑person action adventure launching in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
You play as Ro Laren, portrayed by Michelle Forbes, in a story that blends survival, mystery and psychological tension within the Star Trek universe.
Explore a Planet That Warps Reality
After crash‑landing on a distant world ruled by a strange planetary consciousness, Ro must navigate an environment that is both breathtaking and deadly.
Her mission begins with duty, but quickly spirals into something far more personal as the planet distorts her memories and threatens her grip on reality.
Every discovery pulls her deeper into a corrupted labyrinth where the line between truth and illusion blurs.
Investigate a Living, Hostile World
The planet itself is an entity, reshaping the landscape into a weapon.
Creatures born from this consciousness patrol the terrain, forcing Ro into tense encounters where you must decide whether to fight or outsmart your enemies.
Observation and timing are essential.
Each confrontation tests your resolve as you uncover the secrets behind the planet’s influence and the fate of Ro’s missing friend.
Survive an Ecosystem Designed to Break You
Shadow Frontier leans into psychological survival.
The entity attempts to infiltrate Ro’s mind, tormenting her with visions and emotional manipulation.
Environmental hazards lurk everywhere, turning exploration into a constant risk.
To survive, you rely on iconic Star Trek tools:
- Tricorder analysis to gather clues
- Phaser utility for puzzles and combat
- Careful navigation through shifting terrain
Fear takes many forms, and the planet uses all of them.
