LAS VEGAS, NV–(EMWNews – August 10, 2008) – Cryptic Studios™, a leading independent

developer and publisher of massively multiplayer online role-playing games

(MMORPGs), today revealed at the annual Star Trek Convention the first

details and gameplay trailer for Star Trek® Online, a massively

multiplayer online game based on the legendary Star Trek franchise.

Convention attendees and Trek fans from around the globe attended the live

webcast event held in the Gene Roddenberry Theater. Cryptic’s Chief

Creative Officer, Jack Emmert, was joined on stage by renowned Star Trek

actor Leonard Nimoy, as he outlined the details of Star Trek Online.

“I spent many, many Saturday afternoons watching reruns of Star Trek and

dreaming of its worlds. Leonard Nimoy helped inspire my imagination of what

mysteries the universe might in fact hold,” said Emmert. “I’d like to think

that very same imagination is what fuels my desire and drive as a game

designer, pushing toward creating an MMO that is the ultimate Star Trek

experience.”

Set in the year 2409, Star Trek Online will allow players to immerse

themselves in the future of the Star Trek universe, exploring strange new

worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations in an ever expanding

vast universe. Command a starship as a Federation or a Klingon Captain,

outfit it with custom systems and recruit, train and mold a crew into an

elite force for exploration and combat. Missions take players into

thrilling space battle, planetside for face-to-face combat and even inside

starships!
