Today German game maker Gameforge announced they have signed a worldwide licensing agreement to publish free-to-play casual browser games based the Star Trek franchise. TrekMovie spoke exclusively to an executive producer from Gameforge to get the first details on the new Star Trek games. We also have the first look at concept art. Check it all out below.

Gameforge is the largest independent global provider of online games and a leader in the growing field of Internet browser-based games. All Gameforge games (including their planned Star Trek titles) are free-to-play (F2P) games, which also offer additional special features which players can optionally buy.

TrekMovie spoke exclusively to Gameforge executive producer Ralf Adam, who revealed more details about their upcoming Star trek titles. Adam says that in 2011 Gameforge will launch their first two Star Trek titles, one being a browser game and the other is a "social media game." The Gameforge license covers all of the ‘classic’ Star Trek franchise of six TV series (including TAS) and first ten feature films (Star Trek: The Motion Picture through to Star Trek: Nemesis).

Adam outlined plans for Gameforge’s first two Star Trek games:

The first two games will be set in very different universes – one in Star Trek: The Original Series and one roughly in the timeline of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They will also be very different games in terms of overall style and tone, game design and structure; the social media game won’t be a lighter version of the browser game. They are entirely different, and each is developed with the specific characteristics of the platform in mind.
