Riding the coattails of an awesomely successful movie
Paramount has announced the release of Star Trek: D-A-C on Xbox LIVE Arcade today, downloadable for 800 Microsoft Points. The game is also scheduled for release to PlayStation Network and Windows LIVE some time later this year.
Working with Bad Robot Interactive, CBS Consumer Products, and Naked Sky Entertainment, the entertainment company timed this movie-inspired game to be released shortly after the film. Star Trek: D-A-C offers a multiplayer or co-op battle experience, with support for up to 12 players and three game modes: single player, online multiplayer, online co-op. For each mode there are three game types: Team Deathmatch, Assault and Conquest.
The game allows players to access three ship types for each faction, including the U.S.S. Enterprise, with their own unique abilities.
“Fans of the new ‘Star Trek’ film can now experience the excitement that made the movie a worldwide sensation in their own living rooms through fierce Star Trek: D-A-C multiplayer battles,” said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. “Rather than retelling the story of the blockbuster film, Star Trek: D-A-C lets gamers boldly go into deep space on Xbox LIVE Arcade and seize their own intergalactic triumphs.“
