Star Trek Online celebrates 11th anniversary with new season House Reborn

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios have announced the newest Star Trek Online season. Called House Reborn, it is now available on PC and coming soon to console. This update comes right in time to celebrate the 11th anniversary of the free-to-play MMORPG.

“It is truly amazing to witness how Star Trek Online continues to resonate with people after 11 years,” said Yoon Im, CEO of Perfect World Entertainment. “The Cryptic Studios team is incredibly passionate about Star Trek and has done a tremendous job of bringing the films and shows to life in the game. We could not be more thrilled to celebrate this milestone with them and our devoted players.”

“We feel so honored to be on this journey after 11 years,” said Andre Emerson, the game’s executive producer. “Each new year brings more Star Trek content than ever before and we feel like we’re just getting started. None of this would even be possible without the constant support from our players, and we would like to thank them dearly for it.”

Here is everything that the House Reborn update brings:

• Two Brand New Episodes – In “Knowledge is Power,” Captains will play as J’Ula and return to the sacred planet, Boreth to seek guidance from Tenavik, before heading to Gre’thor to seek out guidance from L’Rell in “Leap of Faith.”

• Klingon Recruitment System – Players who start a new Klingon Captain will now earn several rewards for all Captains on their account.
