Bitmob got the chance to ask Cryptic -- the dev team behind classic MMOs City of Heroes, City of Villians, and Champions Online -- about their new game Star Trek Online. They've taken a lot of care with the IP and with the MMO genre to make it something Star Trek and at the same time not something World of Warcraft. The game ships on February 2nd, but is in open beta right now.

The MMO studio says it’s “unifying legacy expertise with fresh perspectives”
The long-running, free-to-play Star Trek Online has expanded once more - and this time it's the new Both Worlds season that comes to Xbox and PlayStation.

Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
