It’s very easy to tell that Paramount and Bad Robot’s downloadable title is a Star Trek game that is a top-down, space combat arcade title – which will be available on PSN and Live. But, other then that, we get very mixed up on the ‘DAC’ part of the title, and I mean really mixed.

Star Trek: DAC is “focused on fun, not a retelling of the story” of JJ Abram’s upcoming Star Trek reboot, according to Ben Hoyt, senior producer at Paramount Games. When calling Star Trek: DAC a mixture of Subspace and Geometry Warswhen describing the game.

Developed by Roboblitz creators Naked Sky Entertainment, Star Trek: DAC will support 12-person multiplayer, with two teams of six. AI bots will fill in the blanks if needed, or should your federation of online friends be unavailable. The game will also feature three modes, including solo play, cooperative play and a versus mode. Star Trek: DAC is due to hit Xbox Live Arcade in May, on or near the release of the movie.
