Bloober Team, the creative force behind the Silent Hill 2 Remake and the survival horror title Cronos: The New Dawn, has joined forces with Paramount Games Studio to announce Star Trek: Shadow Frontier. Unveiled during IGN Live, this upcoming project marks the franchise’s first foray into the psychological horror genre, with a scheduled release in 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
The narrative centers on Ro Laren—a fan-favorite character from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Following a distress signal, Ro Laren finds herself crash-landed on a desolate, otherworldly planet. Michelle Forbes, who originated the role, returns to voice the character, bringing her gravitas to a story that promises to be a deeply unsettling experience for long-time Trekkies.
According to the official press release, the setting is a haunting “spaceship graveyard” where nothing is as it appears. As Ro Laren navigates this corrupted landscape, she will be forced to contend with a hostile ecosystem, nightmarish creatures, and a malevolent entity that threatens to consume both her physical form and her sanity.

We aim to provide an experience that is both respectful of the source material and refreshingly bold.”
While an official launch date has yet to be finalized, Star Trek: Shadow Frontier is currently slated for a 2027 release window. As more details emerge regarding this atmospheric journey, we will keep you updated.
