Star Trek: Bridge Crew is a virtual reality game where players explore space as a member of the Federation. Playable cooperatively with a crew or solo as Captain, Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts players directly onto the bridge in a Starfleet ship.

The mission: explore a largely uncharted sector of space known as The Trench, in hopes of locating a suitable new home world for the decimated Vulcan populace while coming into direct conflict with the vaunted Klingon Empire. Star Trek: Bridge Crew puts a player and their friends into the heart of a new starship, the U.S.S. Aegis, where every action and decision that is made together will determine the fate of the ship and crew.

Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, a Ubisoft Studio, Star Trek: Bridge Crew was designed exclusively for VR, capitalizing on the powerful sense of social presence only possible through virtual reality. Through hand tracking and full-body avatars, including real-time lip-sync, players can experience what it's like to serve as an officer on the bridge of a Federation starship.

Players can now continue their voyage in the Star Trek universe as they take the helm of the Galaxy Class starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The iconic bridge will allow players to test their combat skills against the stealthy, Romulan fleet and the villainous Borg in Ongoing Voyages mode.

The Next Generation expansion enhances the Ongoing Missions mode and offers two additional mission types, Patrol and Resistance. Patrol mode gives players the opportunity to free-roam in space while experiencing random encounters and objectives for endless hours of adventure on board the U.S.S. Aegis, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 or the Enterprise-D. In Resistance mode, players will get the chance to face a fan-favorite villain – the unstoppable Borg. Players will evade a pursuing Borg Cube and will be tasked with completing a series of objectives before battling the Borg in a final showdown.

Additionally, the Enterprise-D will introduce a new command role, Operations, which will focus on Crew Management. Operations will need to plan ahead and assign the correct NPC teams to each location on the ship, as each position is crucial to the success of the varied missions and to the safety of the crew.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew The Next Generation expansion will be available for PlayStation VR and PS4, playable with and without VR, on May 22 for $14.99.It will be available on PC on July 21 for VR players on HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality, as well as support for non-VR players. The expansion will be playable cross-platform for all devices.

As a crew, players will form a team of four to operate the roles of Captain, Helm, Tactical or Engineer. Each role is crucial to the success of the varied missions players face, and only by working together can the crew complete their objectives. Also playable in solo, players will assume the role of Captain and dispatch orders to their NPC crew mates. The Captain's strategic decisions will be vital in order to successfully complete missions.

It's up to players and their crew to chart the region, and to secure a peaceful Federation presence. The maiden voyage of the U.S.S. Aegis is theirs to command.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew marks the latest venture into virtual reality for Ubisoft, who believes in the strong potential of VR to redefine social gaming with a unique sense of reality. Keen to explore the opportunities of this emerging technology, Ubisoft recently announced the games Werewolves Within and Eagle Flight, as well as a VR partnership with the film company, SpectreVision.

The iconic U.S.S. Enterprise bridge from Star Trek: The Original Series will be playable in Star Trek: Bridge Crew.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew is currently available for PC, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PS4, and PlayStation VR.
