Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova is going boldly to the Switch this year

This weekend is the Star Trek: Mission Chicago event, welcoming Trekkies of all ages to the usual Fan Expo experience. It also brought with it a nice game announcement as Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova was announced for Switch along with PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

It’s the first game based on the recent Star Trek: Prodigy series, an animated show aimed at younger fans. Outright Games is publisher and has a track record of transforming family shows and movies into games. The TV show is part of the “expanded” Star Trek universe, set canonically after Star Trek: Voyager, with young aliens who find a ship and are guided by a hologram of Voyager’s Kathryn Janeway.

Not much was revealed about the game, just the artwork above and a PR description:

At Star Trek: Mission Chicago 2022, taking place this weekend, Star Trek Prodigy: Supernova was unveiled as the first-ever video game based on the recently hit animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, which follows the intergalactic adventure of six alien teenagers aboard an abandoned Federation starship. This game is also the first-ever Star Trek video game aimed at younger gamers, bringing gaming closer to a new generation of Trekkies.

We’ll no doubt see a lot more details on this in the coming weeks.
