We've welcomed incredible indie developers, published games across all kinds of genres, and continued to grow alongside the amazing communities, like yourself. Today, we're excited to share the next step in that journey.

- New 1.7 Update is out now! - 18 May 2026
Heyho Captains! We have a plethora of new bits and pieces for you in this new Update (1.7)! Most prominently, the long awaited Delta Flyer! Built in the Shuttlebay, the Delta Flyer brings a brand-new questline with Tom Paris in Sector 7, construction mechanics, and a combat ally role that won't split your rewards. There are also new Delta Flyer-specific branches in several existing quests, including "Old Friends, New Enemies", "The Drone", and "Uprising". Beyond the Delta Flyer, 1.7 is a hefty quality-of-life and stability pass - overhauled bridge UI, PlayStation gamepad support, a wave of quest fixes across some of the game's bigger storylines, and a bunch of crash and save game fixes. Console players will have to wait a little longer, as (unfortunately) is usually the case - the patch is coming to consoles in early June. PS: (While we are at it - Are you at FedCon? We are!

- 1st Week Recap - 24 February 2026
Heyho Captains, At some point we are running dry on jokes about how fast time is passing by when you are having fun … It has already been roughly a week since we released Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown and the reception has been extremely positive (and that is even an understatement). PastThanks to your exceptional dedication, we were able to sell 100.000 copies of the game in 4 days! This is a tremendous number for any studio, but especially for a small indie developer from Germany. National radio stations have been speaking about us and interviewed the Dev Team, CNN has (shortly) mentioned us, a concurrent user peak of over 9000 (insert Vegeta Meme)... It has surely been a great launch. PresentBut surely as well, that doesn't mean we can lay back and relax - as you were able to read in our recent blogpost(s) we are tinkering on a manual quick save to counter the feedback you…
- Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a fairly dull curiosity that I'm really enjoying - 24 February 2026
"I'm here. I'm me. I'm alive!" Tuvix cries out as I'm dragging him to his death. Two of my crewmembers have been merged in a strange transporter accident, and in separating them back into their original bodies, I'm killing the current amalgamation. It's an episode of Voyager that begins light and ends heavy, and I find that when I have to decide Tuvix's fate in Across the Unknown , it isn't as easy as I thought. Read the rest of the story...

And heyho again, 2 blogposts in a day? Yes - not just that, 2 small patches in a day!

- Hotfix 1.0.1 - 20 February 2026
Heyho Captains, Without further ado, here is our first, albeit small, Patch, focussing on some individual issues. As mentioned yesterday in our recent blogpost, this is only the first step before a bigger Update which will then be focusing on the save system. Here are today's patchnotes: Added the timestamp of the last savegame to the pause menu to improve visibility as a first step to address savegame-related feedback. Fixed a progression blocker in Maneuvers that could occur if Tom Paris was unavailable in a specific branch. Resolved an issue causing empty pop-ups when crew members were injured in Main Engineering. Adjusted balancing. Updated Chakotay Maquis Profile Picture Fixed potential crashes when exiting to the main menu from combat result screen. Fixed a potential crash that could occur when the ship was auto-focused at the end of traveling between systems. See you in the Delta…
