New Star Trek Trailer Discusses Story Development

Includes one of our favorite words: canon!

As release hour approaches for the brand new Star Trek video game, another trailer has appeared to shed some light on its creation. We already know the Gorn are back and are pretty angry (could you imagine a happy Gorn?), but a few new details about one of the main characters, Tamar, are teased, along with her history with Spock. Events in the game take place after the 2009 film but before Star Trek Into Darkness, so there's a bit of wiggle room when it comes to crazy things happening.

The story in Star Trek was written by Marianne Krawczyk, one of the writers for the God of War series, along with input from the producers of the film Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci. It's not only a completely original tale, but it's also considered canon in the new Trek universe. What happens here really happens, folks, so don't embarrass yourself at the next convention.

Star Trek The Video Game is scheduled for release today on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. It features a two player "bro-op" mode that drops you and a friend in as Kirk and Spock, kicking green Gorn butt side by side like they were always meant to.
