Star Trek: Outposts Unknown Announced at PC Gaming Show 2026
This is the first Star Trek game focused entirely on base-building and exploration rather than combat or diplomacy, and its original story ties directly into the Strange New Worlds era without adapting an existing plot.

Playstack and Magic Fuel Games announced a new Star Trek strategy game, Star Trek: Outposts Unknown, during the PC Gaming Show 2026 online event on June 8. The game is an outpost construction and exploration title set in the Star Trek universe. Players take the role of a captain leading a crew to explore the Zehari system and build bases on unknown worlds. The Steam store page describes the game as having a completely original story set in the 23rd century, parallel to the era of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. A demo version is currently available on Steam. The game is scheduled for release on PC via Steam. The announcement was accompanied by a reveal trailer showing base construction footage. No release date beyond the PC platform has been confirmed. The game is developed by Magic Fuel Games and published by Playstack.
The announcement came during the PC Gaming Show 2026, a digital event that showcases upcoming PC titles. Playstack, the publisher known for titles like The Last Campfire and A Little Golf Journey, is handling distribution. Developer Magic Fuel Games has not previously worked on a licensed property; their prior work includes the survival game The Last Flame. The demo available on Steam lets players experience early outpost construction and exploration mechanics. The game's setting in the 23rd century places it in the same timeframe as the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but the story is described as original and not tied to specific episodes. No console versions have been announced. The trailer shown during the event focused on building structures and managing resources on alien planets. The game joins a growing list of Star Trek games released in recent years, including Star Trek: Resurgence and Star Trek: Infinite, but is the first to center on colony building.
