Star Trek is having a busy year in celebration of its 60th anniversary, but one of the most exciting projects isn't landing in time for the actual anniversary date. While there will still be plenty to do on September 8th, ranging from virtual anniversary celebrations to theatrical screenings, the fun isn't just for this month.
For Star Trek fans interested in interactive experiences, a new game is landing in October. In true Star Trek fashion, tie-in games have often explored genres beyond typical action-adventures, and the next foray into the medium will take the franchise in a fresh strategic direction.
Star Trek: Outposts Unknown is set to launch on October 20, 2026, as recently revealed on the game's official Steam page. Unfortunately for console gamers, Outposts Unknown will only be coming to PC and Mac, but its strategic nature seems like a better fit for a mouse and keyboard regardless.
Outposts Unknown focuses on building and managing outposts in "strange new worlds," forcing players to manage resources carefully to build prosperous settlements. It's not just an intellectual exercise, though, as it also promises a new Star Trek story that will be contemporaneous to the 23rd century...
