RETURNS TO THE DELTA QUADRANT WITH THE
OFFICIAL ADD-ON FOR STAR TREK: VOYAGER®
ELITE FORCE Santa
Monica, CA – February 28, 2001 – Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) and Raven
Software are offering players another tour of duty with the crew of the U.S.S.
Voyager by announcing the official add-on pack for the highly acclaimed PC
game, Star Trek: Voyager® Elite Force(tm). In the add-on pack, players will
reprise their role as commander of the Hazard Team, a specially trained
security detail designed to combat the perils of the Delta Quadrant. "The
original game set new standards for action games and is considered by many as
the best translation to date of the Star Trek® license into a game,"
said, Larry Goldberg, executive vice president, Activision Worldwide Studios.
"In the add-on pack Raven Software is bringing an array of compelling
single and multiplayer experiences to the winning Star Trek: Voyager Elite
Force mix that fans are sure to love." The
official Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force add-on pack will offer players a
variety of diverse gameplay experiences. For the first time ever, trekkers
will be able to explore an interactive 3D recreation of Voyager’s interior in
Tour Mode. Once aboard, players will have unrestricted access to 15 decks of
the ship, including the bridge, officer quarters, holodecks, the transporter
room, Hazard Team crew quarters, sickbay, astrometrics, the shuttlebay and
engineering. Additionally, many of the ship’s systems and all of the crew will
be interactive. Players can perform complex tasks like initiating Voyager’s
self-destruct sequence or shutting down the warp core, along with finding
secret items hidden objectives, and mini-games. Once players finish touring
the ship, they can hone their Hazard Team skills in two new single player
campaigns – a Captain Proton holo-novel and an assault on a Klingon compound. Multiplayer
also benefits from the new add-on pack with 17 additional multiplayer maps and
12 new models. The Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force add-on will also feature two
new game mods. In a new class-based team game, players will be able to select
a character class (i.e. security, medical, engineering…) with unique skill
bonuses to complement their style of play. Additionally, in the assimilate
mode, a group of players have to neutralize a lone Borg invader before they
become assimilated. The
official Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force add-on pack is expected to be
available in the spring of 2001. Visit gaming.startrek.com for more
