Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown gets Release Date

While I love and worship the immensely masculine altar of Picard, there is one Star Trek captain who remains my favorite. Captain Janeway and her crew have a special place in my heart, not just because I love Voyager, but because Voyager is the epitome of what I would crave as a Star Trek captain. The thrill of exploring the unknown, possibly getting messed up by cosmic fart clouds every 3 episodes, you know, the works.

Now, Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown has a release date, provided via a press release from Daedalic Entertainment. Star Trek Voyager – Across the Unknown will be available on PC and consoles (including Switch 2) on February 18^th. Here is what the press release says about the upcoming launch.

“Daedalic Entertainment and developer gameXcite announce that Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown will launch on February 18, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. With this announcement, the teams also confirm that Nintendo Switch 2 joins PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for a simultaneous release across all platforms.

At the same time, preorders open today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, accompanied by the reveal of the Deluxe Edition.

Alongside the start of the preorder of the standard and digital deluxe versions, a free demo is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, incorporating the extensive feedback gathered from the community. The new version features improved UI clarity, enhanced ship-control feedback, refined combat pacing, and additional guidance in key decision-making moments, ensuring new captains can step onto the bridge with confidence. A demo for Nintendo Switch 2 is expected to follow soon, as well as the updated version for the Steam PC demo.

In the demo, captains will navigate a sector inspired by the legendary pilot episode “The Caretaker”. The demo includes a guided tutorial and approximately an hour of gameplay, challenging players to keep their starship intact, their crew alive, and their heading true as they begin an epic journey back to the Alpha Quadrant.

In the tradition of Starfleet’s finest, the Deluxe Edition brings captains deeper into the unknown, adding new missions, new recruitable heroes, and powerful technologies drawn from pivotal alien encounters in the Delta Quadrant. This expanded content integrates directly into the campaign, offering fresh tactical options and new narrative possibilities for returning and first-time players alike.”

As a big fan of Star Trek: Voyager, I’m curious to see how Across the Unknown plays. While I would love a Voyager game in the style of Mass Effect, I’m glad to see Janeway and the Voyager crew getting some love in general. Here’s hoping Across the Unknown turns out well.
