Star Trek Online gets a release date

Starfleet wants you - and sooner than you think!

Stardate February the 2nd, 2010.

That's the date that Star Trek Online will go on sale in North America, followed three days later by Europe. No Australian date has been announced, but we'd bet credits to Tribbles it'll be closer to the US launch.

We've also been informed that the closed beta stage of the game will go live very shortly, with invites going out possibly within the next week or two.

Time to get my Star Trek uniform to the laundromat, I think!

Behind the scenes with Mass Effect 3! GTX 560 VGA round-up! Essential Skyrim tweaks to improve your game! Plus reviews, news, hardware, more games, and easy to following modding guides for PC builders. ON SALE NOW!

SceptreCore Nov 10, 2009 11:51 PM	From what I have seen a lot of it isn't in keeping with Star Trek we know, there is heaps of "new" stuff that the developers have added. I think it will be more like the alternate reality garbage of the latest movie. But I would like to see more vids.
fredzfrog Nov 11, 2009 12:29 AM	TOS refrences? the game is set 30 years after nemesis.. thus i request that all jibes be based under TNG characters and/or mannorisms. or not.. :P
omega Nov 11, 2009 8:04 AM	Puns rule!!!!!!
Hawkeye Nov 11, 2009 9:57 AM	SceptreCore, Fredz is bang on. It's 30 years after the last seen Next Gen film, so of course things are going to be different. This Trekkie, at least, thinks it looks fantastic.
tunksy Nov 11, 2009 10:39 AM	even if it is 30 years after, it'll still get my attention, just love star trek that much ;p
