Get ready, Star Trek fans! The much-anticipated game Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is launching next week. Exciting news: Tim Russ and Robert Duncan McNeill, who played Tuvok and Tom Paris, will voice their characters again. Plus, the game will feature the iconic main theme composed by Jerry Goldsmith. For those curious about how it will perform on the new Switch 2, a demo is available now!
Fans have eagerly waited for this announcement since they tried the game’s PC demo last October. In a recent interview, gamExcite’s Daniel Bernard shared what players can expect: “Across the Unknown will feature voiced logs by Tuvok and Tom Paris at the start of each sector. It was important for us to bring back the original actors in a meaningful way.” These logs will recap events and set the tone for each mission.
The inclusion of the main theme has been a hot topic among fans. Many were vocal about wanting the game’s music to match the emotional depth of the show. Bernard confirmed that the beloved tune will be part of the game’s full release. This mix of familiar voices and music aims to create a rich, immersive experience.
The demo for Across the Unknown is available today on the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as on Windows PC via Steam, Xbox Series S and X, and PS5. In the demo, players can explore the first sector and revisit the events of the famous Voyager episode, “Caretaker.” However, keep in mind that your progress won’t carry over to the full game.
Fans may be hoping for more extensive voice acting, but with the game’s price around $36, it’s understandable that not every character can be voiced. Major games often have bigger budgets, typically priced around $70. If an all-voiced experience is what you’re after, check out Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force.
Scheduled for release on February 18, Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown will be available across multiple platforms. So gear up, embrace your inner captain, and prepare for an adventurous journey through the stars!
