Paramount Games and Bloober Team have announced Star Trek: Shadow Frontier for the next-generation Nintendo platform widely referred to as Nintendo Switch 2.
The title is described as a mature, story-driven third-person action-adventure set in the Star Trek universe and centers on former Starfleet Lieutenant Ro Laren.
The publishers said a release date will be provided at a later time.
Developer pedigree and platform context
Bloober Team, the Polish studio known for psychological horror and narrative-driven titles such as Layers of Fear, Observer and The Medium, is leading development.
Paramount Games is credited as the publishing partner.
The Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s hybrid console launched March 3, 2017, popularized portable-console releases and an established digital storefront, the Nintendo eShop.
Nintendo Direct presentations and eShop listings have traditionally been vehicles for major release announcements and launch details on Nintendo platforms.
Premise and gameplay elements (rewritten from the announcement)
According to the announcement, players will control Ro Laren as she attempts to rescue an old friend and confront a hostile planet-wide entity.
The publisher described the journey as a harrowing path of survival and self-discovery where the environment itself becomes weaponized.
Ro must navigate a lethal ecosystem populated by aggressive creatures and environmental hazards while confronting a consciousness that intrudes on her memories and perception.
Gameplay appears to blend exploration, investigation, puzzles and combat.
The team highlighted use of iconic Star Trek technology—specifically the Tricorder for scanning and analysis and the Phaser for combat and puzzle-solving.
Encounters are positioned to test player decision-making, with an emphasis on observation and tactical choice between engagement and avoidance.
What we know and what remains pending
The announcement focuses on tone and systems rather than concrete release timing; Paramount Games and Bloober Team have said they will share launch details later.
No release date, pricing, or eShop listing information has been published at this time.
Further information about platform availability beyond the Nintendo Switch 2 reference, potential Nintendo Direct coverage, or launch windows will likely come from official publisher updates.
Star Trek: Shadow Frontier represents a notable departure for the franchise into darker, psychological action-adventure territory under Bloober Team’s direction.
We will update this story with confirmed release details, platform confirmations, and any Nintendo Direct appearances as they are officially announced.
