Developer Digital Extremes and publisher Namco Bandai is giving Star Trek fans a new look at the upcoming video game focused on the cooperative experience and its unique mechanics.

Brian Miller, the executive producer working on Star Trek, explains how the team developed the idea that Captain Kirk and First Officer Spock needed to work together in order to stop the threat coming from the Gorn.

The situations in which the two characters find themselves will emphasize the unique abilities that each of them has, with Kirk focusing on direct action and Spock offering support and handling tactical plans.

Star Trek: The Video Game will be launched on the PC, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the PlayStation 3 from Sony on April 23 in North America and three days later in Europe.
