StarCraft has always been a series of deep lore in a vast universe. Fans looking to delve deeper into the stories will get the opportunity with a new comic Mini-Series arriving this summer. Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Blizzard, has developed a StarCraft comic as a four-part series that will be taking the Summer by storm.

StarCraft Scavengers being written by Jody Houser of DC Comics and Valiant Entertainment. Gabriel Guzman is drawing the series and was previously the artist for the Dark Horse graphic novel Mass Effect Discovery. The first issue is expected in July.

The storyline of the StarCraft comic mini-series follows a team of Terrans tasked with finding a Protoss ship abandoned in the outer reach. On a never before explored planet, the team must salvage whatever they can before their mission is compromised by unknown forces. The comics follow a young and relatively inexperienced engineer that

It's been a fun week for non-WC space sim news, so we'll keep that rolling today with another look at Star Wars Squadrons. We briefly highlighted the game back when it was announced in June, and now we're quickly coming up on release. In the intervening months, there have been new videos released that highlight both the gameplay and story. It looks to be shaping up quite well, and the price is decent too. It'll be just $39.99 when it ships October 2. A bunch of Wingnuts will be flying in the game's cross-platform dogfights when they arrive next month. Stop by #Wingnut on Discord to see who's playing and link up!

This is a story of daring pilots and a deep-seated rivalry. At the start of the game, you’ll create two customizable pilots: one flying for freedom as a part of the New Republic and the other imposing the Galactic Empire’s vision of order. From both their perspectives, you’ll get to

Enough time has passed that I think we can finally share this spoiler content in the news. A recent episode of The Book of Boba Fett features an AI-enhanced CGI-esque Mark Hamill along with similarly artificial spoken lines. Respeecher was the company involved with doing the voices, and Klavs has nifty WC tie-in anecdote to share. He had the opportunity to work with them in the past, and he made sure the team was aware of Hamill's Wing Commander performances to power their machine learning engine. In fact, it was literally ODVS' video packages that they used for easy access to all of FMV Blair's lines! You can read more about this process here.

The Respeecher staff also used the High Resolution video packs from Wing Commander IV and III by Owen Davies. A veritable treasure trove of ~10 aby Mark Hamill audio! I know because I provided it to them during a collaborative project last year.

Upon the release of our next expansion, Victory is Life, all characters will find themselves capable of earning levels beyond the current cap of 60. Starting immediately, any and all Experience earned will start players on the path toward the new maximum level cap of 65. It has been almost four years since the last time we raised the Level Cap in Star Trek Online, which coincided with our second expansion, Delta Rising, in October of 2014. Since then, the game has expanded and grown by leaps and bounds, adding hundreds of hours of gameplay and a huge number of new story-driven missions, queues, battlezones, starships, costumes, and much, much more. The game is continuing to grow, continuing to expand, and continuing the story of the franchise that we all know and love. And this time, that is what the Level Cap Increase is primarily meant to reflect. New Experiences In addition to raising your level,

We’re happy to announce that the next major update to Star Trek Online, Rise of Discovery, is coming to PC on May 14th, and to Xbox One and Playstation 4 this summer. This brand new update will be lead by two alumni of Star Trek: Discovery: Rehka Sharma, and Jason Issacs, as Commander Ellen Landry and Captain Gabriel Lorca. This new adventure will feature two new episodes that show Captains the fate of the U.S.S. Buran, and the past of these two fascinating characters, before Captain Lorca took command of the U.S.S. Discovery. But that’s not all. As part of this major update, we’ll be releasing the brand new Discovery Legends Reputation. Players will be able to earn new Discovery marks from the returning TFOs “Operation: Riposte,” “Peril over Pahvo,” and “Pahvo Dissension,” which they can apply towards two new space sets, a new ground set, new kit modules, new traits, and a new

We’ve been through the Age of Discovery, and celebrated a Legendary Anniversary, but now it’s time to return to 2411 for good, Captains. Welcome to the Year of Klingon. Welcome to House Divided. In this epic new update for Star Trek Online, a brand new face is joining our stories cast – Robert O’Reilly, who played Chancellor Gowron in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, is joining the cast as Aakar, Gowron’s ancestor and a loyal servant of the treacherous Ju’la. Players have already met Aakar in The Rise of Discovery, but Robert O’Reilly brings a new dimension and character to the role. Gowron was a brilliant, crafty leader, and time will tell if those traits came from his Grandfather. In addition, an old fan favorite returns. J.G. Hertzler is stepping back into the role of Martok, rejoining our cast as our focus turns again to the Klingon Empire. With the

It’s time to return to 2410, Captains. Our multi-part, expansion-over-time that began with Age of Discovery and ended with Rise of Discovery is now complete, and with it we’ve brought a ton of excitement to Star Trek Online. A entirely new faction, a revamped tutorial experience, and six new episodes starring beloved actors Mary Wiseman, Jason Isaacs, and Rehka Sharma brought the story of Star Trek: Discovery to Star Trek Online. We gave experienced players more to do with updates like Random Task Force Operations, Tier 6 Reputations, and Personal Endeavors. And we unleashed the Featured Task Force Operation system, bringing new stories and experiences to our game more often. Now, we’re moving back to our main setting, the year 2410. And we’re bringing Anthony Rapp with us. Rapp, known to Star Trek fans as Paul Stamets on Star Trek: Discovery, is the star of our next content update, Star

Star Trek Online is about to take you into the world of the latest Star Trek TV series, Star Trek: Discovery. This fall on PC, and soon after on Xbox One and Playstation 4, Captains will take the first step on a continuing journey to 2256, in the height of the Klingon War. For the very first time in STO’s history, we’ll be updating the game in line with a currently airing Star Trek series. Here’s what to expect from Star Trek Online: Age of Discovery: Age of Discovery opens in the year 2256, just after the Battle at the Binary Stars. In the wake of a brutal war against the Klingons, Starfleet Captains must face J’Ula, matriarch of the House of Mo’Kai and sister of T’Kuvma, who seeks to alter the destiny of the Alpha Quadrant. Players will need to rely on the help of fellow Starfleet Academy Cadet Syliva Tilly (played by Discovery actress Mary Wiseman), who has come home to assist with

UPDATE: This stream is now over, but you can watch the replay right here! It’s time for a return to the world of Star Trek Online…on the tabletop! A few months ago, the developers of Star Trek Online got together to play Star Trek Adventures, the roleplaying game from Modiphius, and you all enjoyed it enough that you asked for a second episode. We’re happy to announce that second episode is coming on February 27th at 6:00 PM PT! Last time, the crew of the U.S.S. Pathfinder were drawn into a conflict between the Kalkrit Supreme, a war like alien race (dubbed by chat the “Space Jerks,”) and the Hekteb Confederacy, a loose confederation of alien worlds. The Kalkrit used terrifying space folding powers to create suicide bombers in a surprise attack, and the Hekteb responded by threatening to unleash a weapon that could break a planet’s tectonic plates. This time, the crew will bring these
