Star Trek is getting a new VR game soon, this time injecting a hefty slice of body horror into a single-player narrative, pitting you against an infection ravaging your starship.<\/p>\n

Called Star Trek: Infection,\u00a0the VR-native\u00a0survival experience lets you step into the boots of a Vulcan Starfleet officer tasked with a covert mission aboard the U.S.S. Lumen.<\/p>\n

Things quickly spiral into \u201ca psychological and physical nightmare,\u201d developer Played With Fire<\/a> notes, also known for its single-player VR games Mixture (2024) and Stargaze (2020).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the studio describes Star Trek: Infection:<\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s no crew in sight, and an unknown entity has infested the ship. Now it\u2019s inside your body, physically mutating you, unlocking dangerous new abilities at the cost of your sanity.<\/p>\n

Explore the U.S.S. Lumen. Withstand or embrace the infection inside you. Confront the darkness within the ship\u2026 and your mind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The trailer has revealed a few key VR interactions already, including the ability to use your Medical Tricorder to track your condition, throw out cover to sneak up on baddies, and use new mutations to your advantage.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to wield a Phaser, use a Hypospray on yourself, and Vulcan nerve pinch infected baddies as you make your way through the ship. Check out the key features below:<\/p>\n
