Star Trek Online: Rise of Discovery Update Announced

Rise of Discovery is the next content update for Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment’s Star Trek Online. The update should be going live for PC on May 14, 2019 and then making its way over to the consoles later this summer. The main selling point of this update are a couple of new episodes featuring the voice work of Rehka Sharma and Jason Issacs as Commander Ellen Landry and Captain Gabriel Lorca, but apart from that, you can also expect the usual assortment of new activities and bits of fresh content.

Here’s the official announcement trailer:

And some additional details:

We’re happy to announce that the next major update to Star Trek Online, Rise of Discovery, is coming to PC on May 14th, and to Xbox One and Playstation 4 this summer. This brand new update will be lead by two alumni of Star Trek: Discovery: Rehka Sharma, and Jason Issacs, as Commander Ellen Landry and Captain Gabriel Lorca. This new adventure will feature two new episodes that show Captains the fate of the U.S.S. Buran, and the past of these two fascinating characters, before Captain Lorca took command of the U.S.S. Discovery.

But that’s not all. As part of this major update, we’ll be releasing the brand new Discovery Legends Reputation. Players will be able to earn new Discovery marks from the returning TFOs “Operation: Riposte,” “Peril over Pahvo,” and “Pahvo Dissension,” which they can apply towards two new space sets, a new ground set, new kit modules, new traits, and a new costume. And for the first time, all of our T6 Starships will become scaling ships, meaning that you can fly the most powerful ships in the game at any level, and they will become more powerful as you do.

We’ll have more information about this update in the coming weeks. We can’t wait for you all to experience the Rise of Discovery.
