In case you missed it, Star Trek: Legends from developer FTX Games and publisher Tilting Point recently launched as part of a significant expansion of Apple Arcade. The exclusive Apple Arcade iOS video game shows players controlling a Starfleet ship as their ship enters the mysterious Nexus, within which they discover a dimension of new worlds and characters. Notably, the video game features a new ship called USS Artemis, and the developer recently explained why he decided to introduce a brand new ship instead of using an existing one during a press event attended by ComicBook.com
“The Nexus, where the game takes place, is this realm that you can only enter through these destructive cracks, so we had to configure the Federation of Planets to create this unique starship that is the only ship in the fleet that can go in that realm “said Amir Lotan, Executive Producer and Creative Director in Star Trek: Legends. “Another reason is that, because we are bringing characters from all times of the [Starfleet], we didn’t want a starship that was specifically associated with one of these shows or one of those ages. We really wanted something that seemed to be the captain of the player and that could not be claimed by anyone he brought on board. “
Star Trek: Legends is currently available as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service. The service itself, which is available on iOS devices, costs $ 4.99 per month. You can check out all of our previous Apple Arcade coverage here.
