I’ve recently been posting about my interest in the new Birth of the Federation and Stellaris looking Star Trek game from Paradox called Star Trek Infinite. Well now the game is out and sure enough the whole release has been a bit rocky with some nasty bugs, but I never play day 1 releases anymore anyway and it’s definitely gonna be a long time before I get to it, so all good lol. Let the patches, DLCs & fan mods floooow and in a year or 2 we should hopefully have something pretty good! In the meantime I’m certainly enjoying their dev diaries and videos!
I love that lovely nostalgic TNG art style of their’s.. There’s something about it that reminds me of Star Trek TNG Final Unity’s art style (a great old Trek game also covered on my Star Trek Website) in that it was quite realistic but retained a bit of a artistic painted look. Every time I read the ST Infinite dev diaries it makes we want to play good old Final Unity again heh!

Cool ‘first day’ gameplay trailer..
Release story trailer…
Interesting that story wise they appear to be basing it around the yesterdays enterprise alternate universe but presumably before the Feds start losing the war to the Klingons and you get to ‘set a new path’..
Reminds me of a great Civ4 Star Trek mod scenario set in that timeline as well where you gotta try and turn the war around for the Feds. I show it around the 9:30 mark of this video below..
