New Star Trek: The Game trailer released- looks a lot like Mass Effect

Namco has released a new trailer called “Salvation” for the upcoming Star Trek game. There’s plenty of gameplay in there, plus a few hints dropped here and there as to what kind of story the game is going to follow.

It’s also a little hard not to notice how similar the game looks to the Mass Effect games. Not just in its third person gameplay and the way it is handling its set pieces, but even the art and the graphical palette seems very similar to BioWare’s influencial sci-fi trilogy. It’ll be interesting to see how the game turns out.

Have a look at the video, it’s been embedded above.

Star Trek releases on April 23rd for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Till then, you should probably stay tuned for continued coverage on everything Star Trek.
