'Star Trek: Infinite Space' massively multiplayer game cancelled

Star Trek: Infinite Space massively multiplayer game is cancelled.

Star Trek: Infinite Space, the free-to-play massively multiplayer game designed to play in a browser, is now cancelled after publisher GameForge failed to find partners to bring the title to market.

"Since autumn 2011 we made many efforts to find a publishing and marketing partner for Star Trek: Infinite Space," GameForge explained in a statement translated by GamesIndustry International.

"Unfortunately, our efforts were not successful. So we have decided with a heavy heart to finally abandon the project Star Trek: Infinite Space. The discontinuation is very regrettable. Unfortunately it happens from time to time that a good concept for a game cannot be implemented as originally planned."

GameForge cancelled two additional games last year, HellBreed and Mythos, and let go 100 members of staff, casting doubt over the future of the Star Trek title.

Star Trek: Infinite Space was announced in 2010, and was said to focus on Deep Space Nine. Star Trek television show consultants Denise and Michael Okuda were also on the project.
