Namco will publish the tie-in game for the next Star Trek film from Paramount Pictures, which is currently in development by Digital Extremes. The game is based on a stand-alone storyline which continues the adventure of Kirk and Spock as they work together to “stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy.” It was shown for the first time at E3 last year, and is being written by God of War’s Marianne Krawczyk in collaboration with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, writers and producers for the film. The most exciting part? You can co-op as Kirk and Spock. Get your gold and blue shirts out now. The game will be released during Q1 2013, prior to the May 17 release of the film, for all major home consoles and PC.

Cryptic Studios is getting yelled at by players of Star Trek Online over a deal it had running where a $10 price cut and an additional 60-days (actually a total of 90-days) free game time was handed out to customers who purchased the standard edition of the game by March 3.

If one purchased the Collector’s Edition before 9PM PST on March 3, they didn’t get $10 off – just 60 days free play time.

This pissed off a lot of those who were early adopters of the title.
