Looks like a paid Stellaris mod.

While I love the franchise, if this is an Abrahms-style Trek, I'll be taking a huge detour. And Paradox doesn't exactly leave me with the warm and fuzzies, either.

Why? It doesn't show any gameplay at all. It could be a Star Trek'ish version of Master of Orion, for all we know.

About the only thing I get from it is that marketing seems confused. (Why say the game takes place before The Next Generation, then show a bunch of TNG stuff!?)

Well, they've got plenty of time to give us better information.

The map...look at the map shown in the trailer at 0.39. Anyway it wouldn't be the first paid mod from Paradox. As Hearts of Iron had multiple paid spin-offs. Some were canceled.

Maps where the owner's symbol appears somewhere is fairly common. Stellaris has two colors for each empire: a border color and an interior color, which the video map doesn't have. (Though it also seems to be the wrong scale - so maybe this is just a placeholder so they can show the factions?)

I have high hopes for this, probably naively so. Love to see a game built from the ground up to support a Trek setting in grand strategy. Mods feel too much like reskins.

I'd be keen on anything that's good set in the classic Star Trek realm, so I'll be hoping for something along those lines. Yet also keeping my expectations fully in check.

Stellaris has Star Trek written all over it, imo. I played the TC Star Trek mod, it was pretty good though some mechanics were overly convoluted.

I agree with Couchpotato, that map looks like Stellaris'.

Well the gameplay trailer was released and it's definitely a modified Stellaris engine.

If they can possibly catch some of the experience that the pen and paper Starfleet Battles had, it might be enough to lure me in. I'll be watching here to see what people braver than I think about it.

Can you play as minor nations/planets or just the big 4?

NEW: "Star Trek: Infinite" Game FULL REVEAL! – Trek Central

To celebrate Picard Day we got a full-on reveal of the new Grand Strategy Star Trek game, "Star Trek: Infinite"! First revealed at Summer Games Festival 2023 with a small teaser video, we now have a full-on look at the game. NEW: "Star Trek: Infinite" Strategy Game FULL REVEAL!

For those familiar with Stellaris, the gameplay for “Star Trek: Infinite” will look very familiar. You start your game as one of four playable factions the United Federation of Planets, Romulan Star Empire, Cardassian Union, or Klingon Empire. From here, you go off with science ships to explore new star systems and make first contact with other civilizations!

While doing that, you can construct new starships to bolster your military, make new science ships, or expand your influence and take systems by building stations! There looks to be a mission tree, which will be unique for each playable faction. The Federation has a mission that is “Build the Enterprise”, so I wonder what the equivalent is for the other factions. Each faction offers distinct traits, stories, and quests as you explore the Alpha and Beta quadrants.

When four civilizations were seen to be playable, I was worried that was going to be it, but it looks like there will be a number of non-playable civilizations to encounter. The Bolian Democracy, Bajoran Republic and the Betazoids. I am sure there are much more civilizations out there, and you’ll get to meet them in-game.

It’ll be interesting if you could conquer civilizations as the Federation or have good relations and form an alliance, as the Romulan Star Empire. Whether some playable factions will allow you to do vastly different things will be interesting.
