Development

Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is developed by Bloober Team and published by Paramount Games. It was revealed in June 2026, among a run of announcements the studio made during Summer Game Fest 2026 in Los Angeles, and is in development for release in 2027. The announcement teaser went up on the publisher's video channel on June 6, 2026.

A Horror Studio Meets Star Trek

Bloober Team is a Polish studio known for atmospheric psychological horror, and the game brings that sensibility to the Star Trek universe. Studio head Piotr Babieno described the project as the result of pairing the team's passion for the franchise with what it does best, saying that by combining that passion with horror, the studio partnered with Paramount to create something truly unique.

Paramount Games framed the collaboration as a careful match of strengths. Shawn Kittelsen, who leads creative and production at Paramount Games, said the publisher had long admired the way Bloober Team crafts deeply immersive, atmospheric experiences that keep players on the edge of their seats.

The arrangement started on the studio's side rather than the publisher's. Babieno has said that Paramount saw the quality of what Bloober Team was building and then chose to come in as a publishing and marketing partner, and that he expects the launch to be one of the bigger events on the studio's calendar.

Bloober Team itself was founded in 2008, works out of Kraków in Poland, and employs more than 230 people. The company is listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Michał Gembicki, who joined as the studio's Head of Publishing in 2026, has spoken alongside Kittelsen about Ro Laren sitting at the centre of the game.

Platforms and Release

The game is confirmed for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with a release window of 2027. It is a single-player experience, and the developers describe its mature content as intense violence, blood and gore against aliens. Full voice support is led by Michelle Forbes as Ro Laren.

All four platforms come from the developer directly: its investor communications list the game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Some of the English-language announcement material named only three of them, and the Steam listing covers Windows on its own, as a single storefront normally would. Neither omission narrows the platform list.

System Requirements

Bloober Team has published a minimum PC specification on the game’s Steam page. Only a minimum tier is listed so far; a recommended tier has not been detailed.

The game is listed as a single-player title with full controller support. Xbox controllers are listed, and DualSense controllers are supported over USB. It is available to wishlist on Steam ahead of its 2027 launch.

Languages

Eleven languages are listed for launch. English is the only one with full audio support, so the remaining ten cover interface and subtitles only. No further localization has been announced.

Showings Since the Reveal

Nothing new has been shown since the announcement teaser. When Bloober Team set out its gamescom 2026 line-up in August 2026, it listed two of its other projects and did not include Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, so the reveal material is still the only footage in circulation.

What Is Confirmed

As a pre-release title, much remains unannounced, including the names of the planet, the entity, and Ro's old friend, as well as the game's exact systems and its placement in the Star Trek timeline. This wiki covers only what has been officially confirmed. Return to the main overview for a summary.
