Star Trek Content Coming to Family Guy Mobile Game
Following last year's Ghostbusters content, mobile game Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff is now adding new missions based on the hit sci-fi series Star Trek.
Developer TinyCo and Fox Digital Entertainment on Thursday announced a limited-time Star Trek in-game event that will take place March 19 (that's today!) through April 30.
Throughout the six-week event, players will be challenged to explore the USS Enterprise and "boldly go where no mobile game has gone before."
Family Guy the TV show has of course riffed on Star Trek before, and you can expect the game to retain that humor. Here's how TinyCo sets up the story, which will involve time travel:
"After sustaining heavy damage from the Borg, the USS Enterprise and its crew set an emergency course back in time for Earth, year 2015. The Enterprise’s Commander William Riker infiltrates Quahog on a mission to protect baby Stewie--whose future self creates technology which threatens the Borg’s very existence. With baby Borg Bertram in hot pursuit, Riker enlists Family Guy, Peter Griffin, to repair the Enterprise, save the crew, and protect the future of Mankind… oh, and Stewie too."
Throughout the course of the expansion, you will explore the Enterprise and get to visit virtual representations of The Bridge, Holodeck, Sickbay, and other iconic locations from the Star Trek universe.
Characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation will show up in the game, too, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Lt. Commander Data, Lieutenant Worf, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, and others. Actors from the show, including Patrick Stewart, are lending their voices to the game.
Some new Quest for Stuff missions will see players exploring other planets to collect resources and rewards, while others will challenge them to blast enemies with the Enterprise's photon torpedoes. TinyCo even teases that other iconic Starfleet characters will show up, including Captain James T. Kirk himself.
The Quest for Stuff launched in March 2013 for iOS and Android. For more on the free-to-play game, be sure to read GameSpot's extensive interview with TinyCo.
