Star Trek Online

Some highlights as I watch through this:

• Cryptic is transitioning to Deca Games within Embracer.

• Deca is currently staffing up, and their staff are being trained to work on the Cryptic games.

• In the long term, it is anticipated that Deca will be handling development, with Cryptic functioning in a "support role." They're honestly not sure what that looks like in 4 years' time.

• None of the Cryptic games are being sunset, and their Star Trek license for "several more years."

• The reason for moving these games to Deca is that they want to keep them going for as long as humanly possible.

• Embracer regularly identifies STO as one of the top-performing games in its back catalogue, and it doesn't make sense to sunset a game that still "has gas in the tank."

• There are no "known" changes coming to content release, frequency, etc. The current release size can be used as a rough indicator for future releases.

• They are working with Deca games to teach them what kind of content they think the audiences of their games enjoy and expect.

• Here's a screenshot of the near-future STO roadmap:

• The new ship bundle scheduled for May is a T6 Dyson ship.

• Small preview of the next season (it's not "House Reborn," Phil Frazier just liked the picture):

• The TFO is an "endless battle" style mission.
