New Conquest images

Bethesda have released some new screenshots from the forthcoming PS2 and Wii game Conquest:

They are apparently from the game's arcade mode, and you can see the five more, here.

Conquest preview

Looksie, a video a preview for the next Trek game on the way "Conquest":

Looks a bit like a new version of one of the old Armada games to me (which is a good thing), I think the directional shields are a nice touch, very appropriate for a Trek game; "aft shields at 5%", very Trekish.

More Conquest details

Bethesda have posted an interview with the lead designer, Frank Arnot, of the forthcoming Star Trek game Conquest on thier blog. The interview gives various details on the structure and game play of the game and reveals in addition to the six playable races; Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Dominion, Cardassian and Breen that the Ferengi, Borg Orion and Xindi fleets will also be featured.

Conquest details

Bethesda have put up a section of their site for their forthcoming new Star Trek game Conquest. The game will be available for Playstation 2 as well as the Wii.

As the cover indicates the game will feature six races; Federation, Kingon, Romulan, Dominion, Cardassian and Breen. Yet despite those all being main players in the Dominion War (and the apparent lack of Borg who feature in most TNG era games) they describe it as a Next Generation era game rather than specifically tying it to Deep Space Nine and the Dominion War.

The game will be a real time combat sort of thing with resource management that sounds a bit like Activision's excellent Star Trek: Armada.

Check out Bethesda's site for the game for more details and images.

Wii Star Trek game

Gamefly.com have a listing for new Star Trek game for the Wii "Star Trek: Conquest", and judging my the logos on the front it will be a Dominion War game. No details from current makes of Star Trek games Bethesda Softworks, Gamefly says it's out late this year.

Thanks to TrekMovie.com for spotting this one. Bethesda do seem to like keeping things under wraps until the last minute.
