Paramount Digital Entertainment, Bad Robot Interactive, CBS and Naked Sky Entertainment today announced the launch of Star Trek: D-A-C, coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft this May, and to PlayStation Network and Windows PC shortly thereafter. Inspired by the upcoming "Star Trek" movie from Paramount Pictures, Star Trek: D-A-C
is a fast-paced, top-down space shooter where players take the
captain's chair and engage in intense online multi-player or co-op
battles. Pick up and play, then lead your team to victory.
"The
upcoming 'Star Trek' film has ignited interest among a new generation
of fans as well as longtime fans of the original," said Tom Lesinski,
President Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment. "With that same
goal in mind, Star Trek: D-A-C was designed to appeal to
'Star Trek' fans and gamers alike. The pick up and play arcade-style
game play lets fans take the command and boldly go!"
Star Trek: D-A-C
allows fans to directly control a variety of ships and pitch battles
between Starfleet and the Romulan Empire. Up to 12 players can compete

three different game types - Team DeathMatch, Assault and Conquest.
Players can choose from three ship types for each faction, including
the new U.S.S. Enterprise featured in the "Star Trek" film. Each ship -
the powerful Flagship, the nimble Fighter and the devastating Bomber -
offers its own unique capabilities for players to master and manipulate
as they fight for victory. In addition to featuring the new U.S.S.
Enterprise, Star Trek: D-A-C incorporates music and signature sounds taken directly from the new "Star Trek" film.
Star Trek: D-A-C
