Manual saves have one savegame slot that will be overridden. This slot is independent from the recently implemented autosave slot. When loading the game, players can choose which save game they want to load.BalancingSeveral systems were adjusted to feel m |
| 1st Week Recap | 2026-02-24 | Heyho Captains, At some point we are running dry on jokes about how fast time is passing by when you are having fun … It has already been roughly a week since we released Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown and the reception has been extremely positive (and that is even an understatement). PastThanks to your exceptional dedication, we were able to sell 100.000 copies of the game in 4 days! This is a tremendous number for any studio, but especially for a small indie developer from Germany. National radio stations have been speaking about us and interviewed the Dev Team, CNN has (shortly) mentioned us, a concurrent user peak of over 9000 (i |
| Hotfix 1.0.2 | 2026-02-20 | And heyho again, 2 blogposts in a day? Yes - not just that, 2 small patches in a day! We’ve increased the autosave frequency so the game now saves at least after every fifth Point of Interest, and we’re preparing a manual quick save system for the upcoming patch. Best Regards, gameXcite & Daedalic Entertainment |
| Hotfix 1.0.1 | 2026-02-20 | Heyho Captains, Without further ado, here is our first, albeit small, Patch, focussing on some individual issues. As mentioned yesterday in our recent blogpost, this is only the first step before a bigger Update which will then be focusing on the save system. Here are today's patchnotes: Added the timestamp of the last savegame to the pause menu to improve visibility as a first step to address savegame-related feedback. Fixed a progression blocker in Maneuvers that could occur if Tom Paris was unavailable in a specific branch. Resolved an issue causing empty pop-ups when crew members were injured in Main Engineering. Adjusted balancing. Updat |

You weren’t there? Don’t worry, you can still join us and use the “@ask a dev Ping” to voice your feedback.Talking about feedback, the team is already working on a fix for two of the main issues:SavingWe have heard you - very loudly… no for real, our ears are still ringing. It is a little bit more complicated than “just allowing saving whenever” - But we have seen what your desir |

| Demo Update | 2026-02-13 | Heyho everyone,Perfectly timed for the last weekend before we all venture off into the Delta Quadrant, we can deliver the announced Steam Demo Update - with a little surprise.We not just added the (rather finetuned) changes from the console demo - we even added the first Voice Over into the demo mission (This time only spoken by Tom Paris, as narratively Tuvok is not yet involved - logically he will be featured in the following missions in the full game.

| New Voice Over Infos and more! | 2026-02-11 | Heyho everyone, 7 more days! We would lie if we would say we aren't getting a little excited already... This short announcement is just meant as a headsup before the actual launch period, summarizing a few infos regarding often repeated questions. Will there be a Steam Pre- Order? No, but this doesn't mean that you are missing out on anything (content/sales) - it just changes the time you actually can buy the game. Everyone plays the same version at the same time, on the same sale... which leads me to the next point: Why is there no Steam price public yet? Different platforms have different criteria when it comes to "when information have to |

| FAQ and Combat Quips | 2025-11-04 | Heyho everyone, If we look on our list, there's one specific thing we still owe you (No, not a release date?!
