‘Star Trek: Resurgence’ Disc Release Gets Star Trek Online And Comic Book Pre-Order Bonus

The narrative adventure game Star Trek: Resurgence released digitally in May is getting a physical media release on October 27 for gaming consoles. The publisher just revealed some special pre-order bonuses and tie-ins with the long-running MMORPG Star Trek Online.

Resurgence and STO team up

The digital release of Star Trek: Resurgence was praised for its immersion and branching storytelling set in the Star Trek: The Next Generation era, including a very positive review here at TrekMovie. With launch bugs and issues now patched the game is ready for a release on physical media for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, PlayStation5, and PlayStation4.

Now Dramatic Labs, the independent game developer formed by Telltale Games veterans, has announced an exclusive pre-order/day-one bonus pack for the physical versions of Star Trek: Resurgence. For a limited time, pre-order and day-one (October 27) customers will receive two free codes from participating retailers. Code one unlocks Star Trek Online’s ‘Federation Elite Starter Pack’ for consoles, a pack that will prepare a new Federation Captain to begin their adventures in Star Trek Online, while code two allows a download of the first issue of the Star Trek: Resurgence comic book series, a prequel to the story told in the game.
