Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown: What if Janeway Had Chosen Differently? [VIDEO]

Gamexcite and Daedalic Entertainment’s latest project is designed for the most devoted Star Trek fans. Star Trek: Voyager — Across the Unknown is a story-driven survival strategy game where the fate of the iconic starship is in your hands. More than nostalgia, it’s about reshaping the Voyager’s destiny with every tough call you make in the uncharted Delta Quadrant.

 

Star Trek: Voyager — Across the Unknown puts players in command of the U.S.S. Voyager on its desperate journey home. Every decision counts: can you guide the ship and its crew back safely, or will they remain trapped forever? Have you ever wondered how things might have played out if Captain Janeway had made different choices? What if a vital crew member had chosen another path—or if the crew had tapped into Borg technology to survive? This game lets you rewrite that history, choosing diplomacy or firepower, safety or risk, with consequences that ripple across every run.

Stranded and battered in the Delta Quadrant, Voyager requires urgent repairs and reconstruction. Players must restore vital systems, rebuild destroyed compartments, and expand the ship with new facilities like crew quarters, research labs, and industrial stations. Accelerating research unlocks advanced technology and morale-boosting layouts, including exotic and dangerous options like Borg enhancements. As captain, will you seize that power or resist its dangers?

 

Exploration, Choices, and Combat

 

The Delta Quadrant offers both peril and promise. Scan celestial bodies for resources, investigate anomalies, and discover points of interest—but beware, as recklessness can be as costly as bravery is rewarding. Chart the Voyager’s path, command away missions, and assemble teams based on crew members’ unique skills. A balanced squad may minimize risks, but rushing into danger or taking a scientific approach could yield different results.

When diplomacy fails, prepare for starship combat. From the bridge, issue offensive and defensive commands, target enemy systems, and unleash special weapons. Even in battle, crew talents play a pivotal role: assign officers strategically and activate their skills at critical moments to turn the tide.

“Star Trek: Voyager — Across the Unknown is a passion project born of our love for storytelling and the Star Trek legacy. We’re thrilled to bring the U.S.S. Voyager crew back into the spotlight in a way that stays true to the canon while pushing new narrative frontiers,” said Jonas Husges, COO of Daedalic Entertainment. “As lifelong fans of Star Trek, this isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about letting players take the conn and chart their own course into the unknown,” added Daniel Bernard, director at Gamexcite.

The game is in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, though no release date has yet been announced.
