In case you missed it Star Trek: Legends from developer FTX Games and publisher Tilting Point recently launched as part of a significant expansion of Apple Arcade. In the Apple Arcade-exclusive iOS video game, players pilot a Starfleet ship as their ship invades the mysterious Nexus, discovering a dimension of new worlds and characters. Notably, the video game introduces an all-new ship called the USS Artemis, and the developer recently explained why he decided to introduce an all-new ship instead of using an existing one at a press event attended by ComicBook.com
“The Nexus, where the game takes place, is this realm that you can only enter through these devastating rifts, so we kind of had to set up the Federation of Planets to create this unique spaceship that is the only spaceship in the fleet that can go in that realm, ”said Amir Lotan, executive producer and creative director Star Trek: Legends“Another reason is because we bring in characters from all eras [Starfleet], we didn’t want a spaceship that would be specifically associated with one of those shows or any of those eras. We really wanted something that would feel like it’s the player as the captain and no one can claim that they bring them on board. “
Star Trek: Legends is currently available as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service. The service itself, which is available on iOS devices, costs $ 4.99 per month. You can check out all of our previous coverage of Apple Arcade here.
