Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown has added a free roguelite mode, Q Trials, that replaces its original campaign with faster, replay-based runs and alternate story choices.

01Summary

  1. 01Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown was released in February 2026 and the new Q Trials mode arrived in a free update on 1 October.
  2. 02Q Trials turns the game into a roguelite with procedurally generated sectors, repeated runs and changing encounters, objectives and challenges.
  3. 03Players can put characters such as Harry Kim or Seven of Nine in command and use Q Modifiers that add advantages or disadvantages.
  4. 04The mode includes persistent progression, so some unlocked characters and researched technologies carry over between runs.
  5. 05The update is overseen by Q, voiced again by John de Lancie, and includes 'What If?' scenarios such as using the Caretaker's Array to return home early or saving Tuvix.

02Why it matters

It shows a Star Trek game taking the franchise into a new style of play rather than retelling the TV series in the usual way. Fans of Voyager may be interested in the alternate-history choices and the return of familiar characters and voice talent.
