The problem with naming your video game with a title that promises unattainable goals is that, most likely, you won’t live up to expectations. That’s what happened to ‘Star Trek Infinite’, which was released in October 2023… and now they have announced that it’s game over and the Nostromo will be parked forever. So, it turns out it wasn’t so infinite after all.
Space seems to extend with many boundaries
If it weren’t for ‘Star Trek‘, it is most likely that this Argentine game by Nimble Giant would have passed with even more shame and less glory on the shelves of specialized stores. In the statement, they have tried to distract attention as best they could (“Together we have explored distant worlds, faced formidable adversaries and created a community united by a shared love for the Star Trek universe”), but what underlies it is, well, a profound sadness.
Although the game is what it is and there will be no more updates, you can still buy it for about 30 euros (40 if you want the deluxe version). Who knows, it is possible that the modding community will be able to liven up this walking corpse that many have already labeled as one of the biggest disappointments in recent years. And in a gaming landscape where we have had things like ‘Gollum’, it’s frankly saying a lot.
