This year’s anniversary event for Star Trek Online bet big on the Klingons with new Klingon episodes, Klingon recruitment, and a Klingon-themed anniversary ship. Turns out that was a good bet, as the team announced on Twitter that the game saw its best player numbers since 2018’s Victory is Life update. That’s pretty darn good for the title, especially after 2020 wasn’t exactly bad for the game (here’s an interview placing things in a bit more context, although it’s still shy on definite numbers).
The successful launch has prompted the team to already announce that the next major meta-event prize will allow players to choose any lockbox ship for their very own, rather than a free cash shop ship; the unlock will be just for one character, but it’s still a major change. Players who feel charitable in the wake of that can get a pair of ships by donating to the Boys and Girls Club of America via a new promotion, as well.
Yesterday, with the launch of #HouseReborn, Star Trek Online had the highest number of active players since the launch of #VictoryisLife in 2018. A huge thank you to Captains old and new for joining us. As a thank you, we're happy to announce the prize of our next Meta Event: pic.twitter.com/I2wqdZL14d
