Brunerhouse, the publisher behind Star Trek: Resurgence, has confirmed that the narrative-driven adventure game will soon be delisted from the Nintendo Switch eShop, as well as other digital storefronts, after their licensing agreement came to an end.
Originally released for the Nintendo Switch in August 2023, Star Trek: Resurgence brought fans an interactive experience set in the renowned Star Trek universe, blending compelling storytelling with classic choice-driven gameplay.
The announcement came through an official statement shared on Steam, in which Brunerhouse clarified, "Our license to distribute Star Trek: Resurgence has come to an end, so the game will no longer be offered for sale.
Existing customers can continue to access the game via their Steam library.
Thanks to everyone who was able to enjoy the game!
LLAP!" While the message specifically addressed Steam, it did not mention the Nintendo Switch by name.
However, given the licensing context, the removal appears imminent on the Switch eShop as well.
As of now, Star Trek: Resurgence remains available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, though the publisher cautions that the delisting could occur at any moment without additional notice.
Players who already own the game or purchase it before delisting will still be able to re-download and access it in the future.
However, after removal, new purchases will be unavailable.
The delisting follows significant changes in licensing terms from Paramount, reportedly increasing licensing fees by 2000% following its merger with Skydance.
While official figures have not been independently confirmed, industry sources cited the fee hike as a primary driver behind the game's removal from digital stores.
This fee adjustment comes as Paramount expands its business interests in the broader media landscape, which reportedly includes efforts surrounding a possible Warner Bros. partnership.
Since its launch, Star Trek: Resurgence has been priced at £17.99 / $19.99 and has not received discounts on the Switch eShop.
Given the imminent delisting and the publisher's history, prospective buyers should not expect price reductions before the title is removed.
Critical reception for Star Trek: Resurgence has been positive, with reviewers commending its faithful representation of the Star Trek franchise and its compelling narrative choices.
In one notable review, the game was praised for delivering an experience that captures the spirit of classic Star Trek adventures, making it an ideal pick for longtime fans eager for new stories within the universe.
For those interested in owning Star Trek: Resurgence on the Nintendo Switch, immediate action is recommended.
The game’s removal is expected soon, and no further updates on potential discounting or reinstatement have been announced.
Stay tuned for official updates from Brunerhouse and Nintendo regarding the exact timing of the delisting.
