Star Trek Infection VR heads to Meta Quest 3, PC VR later this year

And it looks spooky.

Star Trek Infection is a VR horror title set in the Star Trek universe and is planned for release on PC VR and Meta Quest 3 later this year.

The title is developed by Played With Fire and published by Broken Mirror Games, described as a “co-development horror label” under Layers of Fear‘s Bloober Team.

“You’re a Vulcan Starfleet officer, sent on a special mission aboard the U.S.S. Lumen, but something has gone horribly wrong,” reads a description of the title. “There’s no crew in sight, and an unknown entity has infested the ship. Now it’s inside your body, physically mutating you, unlocking dangerous new abilities at the cost of your sanity.”

“The ship is empty. The crew is missing. But something sentient and sinister has taken hold of everything, and now… it’s inside your body too. Mutating you physically and unlocking dangerous new abilities at the cost of your renowned Vulcan mind and composure,” Played With Fire and Broken Mirror continued. “Explore the USS Lumen. Fight or embrace the infection. And confront the darkness within the ship… and yourself.”

Update: IGN has released a 20-minute gameplay video showcasing what to expect from Star Trek Infection. It’s below.

In addition to the Lumen looking like Deep Space Nine‘s Defiant, Infection will feature an officer by the name of Ferak, as he investigates a plant-like infection taking over the late 24th Century Starfleet ship. The gameplay video shows off a tricorder, type-2 phaser, palm beacon, as well as Ferak’s Vulcan nerve pinch and mind meld.

All up, it looks like a decent mix of horror and Star Trek so far, also giving off some slow-burn Alien Isolation vibes. What do you make of the gameplay?

Star Trek Infection is planned for a 2025 release on Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S, followed by a PC VR via Steam release “very shortly after”.
