Star Trek fans, here is something special for you today. Stage 9 is a fan project that aims to remake the sets used in Star Trek The Next Generation in Unreal Engine 4. According to its creators, the ultimate goal of this remake is to allow players to explore the entire Enterprise D from Star Trek The Next Generation in a detailed virtual recreation.
Once the ship is completed, the team will be adding in some subtle easter eggs and create different things to interact with in each room. Furthermore, the LCARS displays will one day allow players to perform various actions in the game by pressing buttons on the displays.
What’s really cool here is that there is a version of this project that you can go ahead and download right now. Not only that, but there is a VR version too that supports both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive VR headsets.
Those interested can download Star Trek The Next Generation Unreal Engine 4 from here, and below you can find the key features of its latest version (as well as some screenshots). Kudos to our reader HAL9000 for informing us!

This is not yet another U4 Demo (X game level in U4 engine)
I’ve been tracking this project since version 0.0.2, They made a Huuuuuuuge progress since then. This is very promising & complex project. You should look up their dev log videos to see how they connected the entire ship with turbolifts, and how they have made the entire logic of the ship.It is really amazing just by looking at their development progress.Can’t wait for the next update.
I wish that some Developer would make a great Star Trek game and if that wish were granted it would be the Kirk/ Spock Star Trek. I grew up watching that show in the late 60s early 70s on Saturday mornings as a kid and it was fascinating for me. The Picard /Riker series was technically superior but for me the first series was the best.

vr torrent doesnt seem to be working. Direct download takes 3 hours
Yea, Torrent didn’t work for me either.
I used Direct Download instead. Its worth the wait though…
Edit: Checked it again, torrent is working for me atm.
I look forward to it. Shame the latest version v10 isnt available in VR yet. That Borg encounter sounds amazing.

Is that Patrick Stewart??
I hope they’re playing that on a PC from like 2007… Because otherwise it is a slideshow…. What a bad way to show off a game.
I hope they’ll make DS9, I want to have a drink with Morn.
Star Trek Online pays a lot of money to own the license so they can provide these things.
If you want legal versions go to STO or the Star Trek VR official licensed game
