The following article was accidentally published early by DigitalSpy. It has since been removed, but still remains up in Google . The game apparently will be coming soon from Ubisoft and it is a 4-player co-op Virtual Reality game that takes place on a Star Trek Ship.No word which systems it will be coming to. Read article below:This is not illogicalAlthough the VR content currently out there is great, we feel like there's so much more potential for VR to let us delve into the universe from the comfort of our own sofas. We've already wielded lightsabers in Trials of Tatooine on the HTC Vive, but that was just a demo.But thanks to Ubisoft and developer Red Storm, soon you'll be able to conquer the final frontier in a brand new VR game called Star Trek: Bridge Crew.Set in the rebooted JJ Abrams universe, the game actually takes place on a new USS Aegis ship, with your mission being to find a new home world for the Vulan population. It's set after the timeline of the first Star Trek film.It's a four-player co-op experience, with you and three mates taking on the various roles of the bridge crew – Captain, Helmsman, Engineer and Tactical Officer. The entire game is mission-based, but you'll need to work together with your fellow Bridge Crew members to make sure you accomplish all the various tasks.You'll be communicating to each other as you explore, encountering the Klingons and other alien species en route.BRIDGE CREW EMBODIES THE FRIENDSHIP THEME OF STAR TREK"The Bridge Crew experience is highly social. That's the type of VR we've been exploring at Red Storm – social VR," explained David Votypka, Senior Creative Director at Red Storm. "Like with Werewolves Within, we really take the tech and apply it to this brand. The social element is already in the DNA of the Star Trek brand."They rely on each other. They have to communicate and work together. That dynamic about the brand is like a perfect fit for this technology, where you have that presence. You feel like you're there with other people, but you also get to do it on the bridge of a Federation starship."Star Trek: Bridge Crew uses hand-tracking and special lip sync technology to make you feel like you're talking to real characters and really are part of the USS Aegis crew.It's a bit sad that we're not going to be piloting the USS Enterprise in Red Storm's upcoming VR title, but it seems there's a deliberate reason for making it the USS Aegis."Pretty early on, we talked about how players, of course, would love to be on the Enterprise and fly the Enterprise – but, at the same time, this is a new technology that lets you immerse yourself in this world."That was one of the reasons why we wanted to allow players to become a Federation officer themselves, for them to become the crew. So, in a lot of ways that made sense. If you're becoming the crew, if you're becoming the Federation officer – it's about your career, your mission, your adventures [then] we should do a different ship."Secondly, we wanted to do some narrative story missions as well. If you're on the Enterprise, it's immediately confusing. It's like, 'I'm on the Enterprise, but where are Kirk, Sulu and Spock?' For those two main reasons, we wanted to create a different ship in a different area of space in its own setting and it's own storyline."NO ENTERPRISE = NO FUN?Regardless of the lack of Enterprise, the game still has a uniquely Star Trek feel. Although we've not had a chance to go hands-on (or head-on) with the VR title, three familiar faces have already been strapped into the headsets and given the game a whirl.Those faces are Karl Urban of the Star Trek reboot and Star Trek: Into Darkness, LeVar Burton of Star Trek: Generations and other titles and Jeri Ryan of Star Trek: Voyager – all of whom have quite the insight into the Star Trek world."I have to say, this was an extraordinary experience. It's one thing to be on set and imagine a scenario like this, but it's an entirely different beast when you are actually in this game and your adversaries are fully-3D rendered right [in front of you]," said Karl Urban after playing Star Trek: Bridge Crew."I've sampled VR in various iterations of the technology. This [game], by far, is the best I've ever had the chance to play," added LeVar Burton. "This is where we all hoped we were heading, certainly where gaming is concerned."The graphics are amazing, the art – it's all terrific. But one of the things I love most about it is that they have really maintained the integrity of the Star Trek ethos – the values of cooperation are actually built into the gameplay. I think that's very cool because Star Trek really is unique in that it is our hopeful look at the future.""It's incredible. The things that you do and the way that you interact, everyone working together – it's beautifully done," said Jeri Ryan. "It's not just blowing things up. You're not just shooting. There's a million games where you can shoot people. This is more than that. Star Trek was more than that because also you're trying to rescue people and get them home. It's really cool."DOES SOCIAL VR REALLY WORK?In a time when very few people have virtual reality headsets at home – we currently don't know what platforms Star Trek: Bridge Crew will launch on – we still wonder whether social VR is the way to go. But with our Star Trek guinea pigs, it seems that's one of the biggest sells for the game."It was actually my favourite part of the experience," explained Urban. "You learn to work together as a better team. You each have a specific set of functions to perform. If one of your colleagues fails to perform, it could impact the wellbeing of everybody in the game. There's pressure there to get it right and do your job.""The ability to be in a virtual reality environment with your friends, that's pretty cool. It's absolutely unique and I can't tell you how much fun it is," said Burton. "You're all in different locations, different cities, sometimes different countries. Imagine being able to actually have a physical representation of one another and be able to share a singular environment. That's pretty cool."But Burton actually wants to take the Star Trek experience a step further by reuniting Star Trek: Next Generations in Bridge Crew."I'd love to play this game with other members of the Next Gen cast. I think it would be an absolute blast. Playing with Brent [Spiner], Jonathan [Frakes] and Michael [Dorn] – it would be a gas! So
