Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown showed promise from the demo with some rough edges, but the new trailer has me excited about the journey.

But before getting into details…what did they do to Seven of Nine?! Why do they have no hair? Or, do we get to pick an entirely different member of the Borg to join the crew? Quite possible given the nature of the game letting you do all sorts of different paths but I need answers.

Anyway, a new trailer has warped in going over a bunch of "what if" moments and it has definitely renewed my interest in seeing the whole journey through after the demo. It focuses on a specific plot-line in the adventure about gathering data, and the different paths you can take on handling it along with some consequences. I don't want to really spoil anything with details, but a certain Romulan scientist being a crew member was certainly a surprise to see as well.

The game really does have a great concept, so I'm keen to see what the end result will be once it's finished. The demo at least has a Very Positive overall rating from players on Steam with a lot of the negative reviews pointing out the lack of any voice acting (something that bugged me too).

Seven was bald in her assimilated era, when Borg vessel and Voyager agreed to temporarily work together.

But normal, humanized Seven is in the trailer as well?

I can imagine you will be able to add all kind of random crew members that were not part of the show: Borg, Kazon, Hirogen etc.

EDIT: Yeah now I saw that character in the trailer as well. Definitely a different character than Seven.

Cool! The underlying systems look to be a choose your own adventure with statistics and dice rolls. I'm on-board! I hope we see some bird-people characters :)

I still wish that we'd have gotten a DS9 FPS game after the Voyager ones. The Jem'Hadar would've been a perfect enemy in a game like that and a good player option in vs multiplayer.

Maybe it's a licensing issue? Seven of Nine was in the recent Picard show, so maybe there's something going on with the rights of using her character, or with Jeri Ryan's agency or what-have-you?

IIRC, the recent DS9 introduced a completely new character with Kira Nerys instead of Ro Laren from TNG was something similar, as was reintroducing Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris in VOY instead of using his TNG character Cadet Nicholas Locarno. From what I remember, both new characters were originally meant to be the established characters later in life, but that would have meant paying the writers of the original episode, and that was deemed to be not worth it in the end. Or something along those lines. Yes, it's not 100% comparable, I know.

I gave the demo a try. I had low expectations, seeing as games based on TV franchises are usually pretty bad. Surprisingly I was very entertained. Not the best game ever, but I'll probably buy it when it goes on sale eventually.
