One of the more exciting VR games due to be released this year was Ubisoft’s Star Trek title, a multiplayer game that effectively channels Spaceteam by giving players different roles on the Starship Enterprise.
It’s an awesome concept. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until 2017 to play it.
In a short post on their blog, Ubisoft announced that the game was being bumped to March 14, 2017 to “deliver the best game experience possible at launch”. “Star Trek: Bridge Crew is designed exclusively for VR and we want to offer a compelling and engaging experience,” Ubisoft added.
That was basically the extent of the information, which is a bit of a bummer. Stephen watched a version of Bridge Crew on the Oculus Rift and described it as a short demo. Press weren’t allowed to play the game themselves — they had to watch through a window, curiously — but given how well Spaceteam works, and the mania that is Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Ubisoft should be able to turn Star Trek into something good.

oh, well that’s annoying.
I like that it’s being delayed if it’s going to have a single player campaign. Just having online players for boring and repetitive PvE would be bad for the franchise. It’s a great idea, I hope it does well.
