FiringSquad has learned that publisher Bethesda Softworks, the current owner of the video-PC game rights to the Star Trek franchise, will not be publishing a game based on the upcoming J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek prequel movie. Company spokesperson Pete Hines confirmed this news with FiringSquad today, but said "Really interested in seeing the movie though. If anyone can make that movie awesome, it would be J.J. Abrams."

Hines also stated that Bethesda Softworks's sister company, the new MMO based developer ZeniMax Online Studios, will not be taking over the development of Star Trek Online. Hines said "I don't believe that is anything that we or ZOS is interested in or actively pursuing. " he said.
 
When asked if Bethesda Softworks was going to continue publishing Trek games or if it would let its current license expire, Hines only told FiringSquad cryptically, "TBD."
 
The original report is here.

For those who like space 4X gaming, there is a new game coming out called "Sins of a Solar Empire" which has some pretty amazing screen shots showing the potential of the game. The game itself supports significant mod input as stated by a number of the beta testers. Although not Trek themed now, there is a significant move to develop a Star Trek Mod for the game. If interested go to: http://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/ and go to the mods section and look up the post, "Star Trek is comming to Sins"....some interesting stuff there.
