Star Trek Online: Agents Of Yesterday Celebrates The Original Series
Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios announced today that Star Trek Online's third expansion, Agents of Yesterday, will be launching this summer. The expansion will take players to The Original Series' timeline for a new adventure just in time for the series' 50th anniversary. There they will encounter two familiar characters and five new ships, including the Daedalus class Science Vessel, in addition to the Enterprise, Constitution class starship.
Many of the new locations will be ripped straight from the TV series. Taurus VII and Edren—also known as the "Gorn Rock Planet"—can be visited.
Walter Koenig will be reprising his role as Chekov for the expansion. Chris Doohan—James Doohan's son—will be bringing Scotty to life in-game.
Star Trek Online Executive Producer Steve Ricossa had the following to say about the announcement.
Star Trek Online has been able to explore other eras in the franchise from Star Trek: Enterprise to Star Trek: Voyager, while continuing to add to the core Star Trek narrative. The 50th Anniversary of Star Trek presents a unique opportunity and challenge for our team, to faithfully venture back in time to one of the most iconic science-fiction settings and eras in television history. Combining Star Trek: The Original Series with Star Trek Online allows us to take players on some new and unique adventures in a time period that is beloved by fans.
Keep an eye out for more information as the summer release date approaches.
