Viacom, who recently sued Paramount over a lack of Star Trek titles to promote has cut a deal with Perpetual Entertainment to make a Trek Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). Here’s the official press release:

The license encompasses all live-action motion pictures and television series including, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. “The scope of the content license is extraordinary for a game of this kind, giving us the opportunity to immerse fans and players in the incredibly rich, diverse and exciting universe of Star Trek,” said Joe Keene, CEO of Perpetual Entertainment.

I originally saw this story reported at Slashdot this morning. This game could be really cool or could go over like the Star Wars MMORPG (not good). We’ll have to wait and see.
