The narrative-driven adventure Star Trek: Resurgence is set to be removed from digital storefronts following the expiration of its distribution license, according to a notice posted by publisher Bruner House. The announcement, which appeared on the game's Steam page, confirms that the title will no longer be available for purchase.
"Our license to distribute Star Trek: Resurgence has come to an end, so the game will no longer be offered for sale," the update stated. The publisher noted that existing customers will retain access to the game through their Steam libraries.
While the game is already unavailable for purchase on Steam and the Xbox store, Kotaku reports that it can still be found on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, and Nintendo eShop. However, the exact date for its removal from these remaining platforms has not been specified.
The Telltale Legacy
Developed by Dramatic Labs, the game features a heavy emphasis on player choice and character relationships, a style reminiscent of the defunct Telltale Games. Kotaku reports that the studio was formed by more than 20 former Telltale developers, including those responsible for hits like Firewatch and Oxenfree.
Upon its release in May 2023, the title saw significant engagement. Kotaku noted the game achieved between 50,000 and 100,000 sales and maintained an 89 percent positive review rating on Steam.
Polygon highlighted the game's specific focus on narrative depth, quoting a review that stated, "Star Trek Resurgence offers a space-worthy experience for Star Trek fans. Where other titles have offered a more complete picture of the Star Trek universe... only a rare few have looked beyond lore toward story."
The delisting coincides with a broader trend of licensed titles disappearing from digital stores. Polygon reported that the removal of Resurgence occurred on the same day Disney pulled more than a dozen games from Steam.
While the specific terms of the Paramount license remain undisclosed, Kotaku observed that the deal appears to have been set for a three-year term. The outlet noted that while older Star Trek titles remain on sale, the current agreement for Resurgence was not extended beyond its initial window.
