Chekov joins Star Trek Online in Agents of Yesterday

Over the years, Star Trek Online has become a high school reunion of sorts for actors from the movies and various series. One of the latest surviving members of the original series, Walter Keonig, will be lending his voice talents to the upcoming Agents of Yesterday expansion.

So how will Keonig’s Pavel Chekov come across in the game? Cryptic wrote a dev blog today showing the creation of two versions of Chekov: one from the original series and one from the movie era.

It’s a good move on Keonig’s part, as it means that his character will finally get an overdue promotion in the franchise: “Things have changed in our timeline for Chekov since the incident on board the Enterprise-B and the loss of Captain Kirk. He’s been promoted to captain and has joined the ranks of the temporal agents, where he’ll play a key role in several missions […] Chekov remains one of our most prominent icons in the TOS experience. We had a lot of fun making him!”
