"Star Trek" and "Star Wars" Games Disappearing from Steam

“Star Trek: Resurgence” will soon no longer be sold: the Telltale-style adventure game can no longer be offered due to an expiring license deal, the developers write in a Steam post. Anyone who has already purchased the game can continue to play it.

The developers do not provide an exact date for the delisting of “Star Trek: Resurgence” here. Currently, the title can still be purchased for 24.50 euros despite the announcement. The developers offer no explanation as to why the Star Trek game is now to disappear from the stores. After all, “Resurgence” was released just three years ago. The Steam version is even only two years old; the title was exclusively available in the Epic Games Store for one year.

It is conceivable that “Resurgence” has fallen short of expectations and that extending the license is no longer financially worthwhile; it is at least unlikely that the game was designed for a sales period of only a few years from the outset.

Positive Reviews

“Star Trek: Resurgence” is a narrative adventure in the style of the Telltale games, in which players follow a cinematically staged plot and repeatedly have to make decisions. “Resurgence” tells the story of two characters aboard the USS Resolute, Jara Rydek and Carter Diaz. The development studio Dramatic Labs was founded by former employees of the company Telltale.

Two “Star Wars” Games Disappeared

Two “Star Wars” games are also being removed from Steam: the original version of “Star Wars: Dark Forces” and “Star Wars: Rebellion” can no longer be purchased. In the case of “Dark Forces,” a remastered version is available instead, which is still being offered. “Star Wars: Rebellion,” on the other hand, is apparently no longer available at all – the game can no longer be found on GOG either.

The two “Star Wars” games are part of a larger Disney package of older video games that have been quietly removed from game stores.
