gamescom: This Star Trek trailer reintroduces the Gorn

While it had been previously announced that the Gorn would be what Spock and Kirk get to shoot at in Digital Extremes’ Star Trek, this isn’t what I was expecting. Can you blame me?

This game, due out early next year, picks up where J.J. Abram’s 2009 reboot left off. Although that notion had me somewhat worried initially, I’m really liking what’s been shown so far. In addition to the trailer, there’s a bunch of new screenshots in the gallery below, and even some concept art.

Star Trek has been pushed heavily as a cooperative experience, so if it turns out to be even halfway decent, I think we’ll have something to look forward to here.
