Launching their 13th season, Perfect World’s Star Trek Online brings Escalation to the PC! The free to play MMO’s 13th season continues the new Tzenkethi War arc with an all new featured episode, combat zones and more!

Today, Perfect World Entertainment announced Season 13 – Escalation is now available on PC for their free-to-play MMORPG Star Trek Online.

Alongside extensive balance changes to the career specifics and abilities in game, the latest season is focused on players working together with a new ‘War Games’ system in place, putting teams against each other in special PVE scenarios.

Console Updates

Console players on XBox One and PS4 have recently been introduced to the Tzenkethi with Season 12: The Reckoning launching earlier this month. The Reckoning features the latest Star Trek alumni coming to STO as Tony Todd joins the team as Rodek, a legendary Klingon Commander who’s skill is needed when we come face to face with the Tzenkethi!

Season 12 features a new features episode, Of Signs and Portents, new PVE enviroments Gravity Kills & The Tzenkethi Front and much more including the Con’cra space battlezone, Lukari Reputation and new R&D missions! You can read more in full at the STO Development Blog.

With the console releases coming in thick and fast, but still lagging behind console updates, STO’s Executive Producer Steven Ricossa has been eager to lessen the gap between PC and console releases in the coming months, mentioning;

With the release of Season 12, you’ll notice that content is coming out sooner and sooner on Xbox One and Playstation 4. Soon, you won’t have to wait long at all to enjoy all of the great new content that comes out every month for Star Trek Online. It’s been fantastic to see Star Trek Online grow and change while on Xbox and Playstation consoles, and bringing the console version to content parity with the PC version has been a goal from the start. I’m incredibly excited to see that we’ve achieved that goal, and will continue to bring fresh content and updates into the console space for free.
