A new gameplay mechanics deep dive trailer for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown offers a closer look at how ship reconstruction and internal management shape the experience aboard the U.S.S. Voyager. Developed by gameXcite and published by Daedalic Entertainment, Across the Unknown places players in command of Voyager as it navigates the Delta Quadrant. Daedalic has been dabbling in the management simulation genre for quite some time now, and even some of their genre-mix titles have had some sort of management elements in them.
Titles like Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter, Into the Emberlands, and Yield! Fall of Rome, all included some sort of management factor in it. On the other hand, the developer gmeXcite is also not a newcomer to the genre, with previous experience of mobile games that had simulation and world-building elements. Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown is the first mainstream title from the developer, and that too, based on an iconic franchise.
Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown Details Gameplay Mechanics in Latest Trailer
The new Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown trailer focuses on how player decisions directly affect both moment-to-moment gameplay and longer-term narrative outcomes. It also highlights the core system centred on rebuilding and customizing the ship, with layout choices, upgrades, and crew management influencing available strategies and story paths. According to the developers, Voyager evolves differently with each run, reflecting the player’s command style and priorities.
Beyond ship customization, the game blends exploration, resource management, and roguelite progression across 12 sectors of the Delta Quadrant. Players must balance diplomacy, system maintenance, and difficult moral decisions while dealing with unpredictable threats. Familiar crew members return, though their roles and fates can change depending on how situations are handled.
At its core, Across the Unknown positions itself as a strategy-driven take on Star Trek storytelling, leaning less on linear retelling and more on “what-if” scenarios shaped by command choices. The emphasis on replayability and systemic decision-making aligns it more closely with management-focused sci-fi titles than traditional narrative adventures.
Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown launches on February 18 for PC via Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Players looking to jump into the galaxy-hopping adventure can download and try a free demo ahead of its release through its official Steam page.
