The next installment in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek series is slated to arrive in theaters May 2013, and it appears as if its game tie-in will be similarly situated. Today, Paramount Pictures announced that it has signed on Namco Bandai to publish the Star Trek game, saying it will arrive for consoles and the PC during the first quarter of 2013.

The game will be set after the events of the 2009 film, and it sees the Enterprise officers teaming up to stop the plans of a powerful enemy pursuing galactic domination.
As for gameplay, Star Trek will carry an emphasis on cooperative play, with Paramount promising a story "filled with action-packed combat."
