Release date: July 16th/17th 2026
Patch notes:

DLC [available for purchase]

Added Expansion Pass (containing four premium DLCs) and upcoming DLCs to the main menu
New DLC “Delta Chronicles” with new Side Missions “Distant Origin”, “The Omega Directive”, “Homestead”, “Cold Fire” and “Inside Man”, two new heroes (“Reg” and Forra Gegen), new NPC ships (Voth City Ship, Ferengi Marauder, Nacona’s Ship, Allos’ Ship) and new techs (Limited Omega Power, Advanced Neutron Microscope, Evolved Plant Seeds, Interphase Cloaking Device, Geothermal Charging Stations, Delta Quadrant Ambassador)

Tech Tree

Improved description for navigational deflector techs
Renamed tech “Talaxian Delight” to “The Survivalist’s Cookbook”
“Ultra thin reactor plating” tech: Decreased warp core damage reduction from 25% to 20%

Away Missions

Only one holo hero is allowed in away missions (due to single mobile emitter)
Hovering over a hero in the away mission loadout screen now highlights that hero’s abilities/traits and recommended traits

Ship Events

Ship Event “Outbreak” is now more managable: The sickness now only spreads 3 times after the initial event
Added 7 new ship quests/events (“The Replicator Bypass”;”Gel Pack Dilemma”; “To Eat or to Empty”; “Prixin”; “A Lesson of Ethics”, “A Soul Divided” and “Forever the Ensign”)

POI

Point of Interest “Crashed Borg Probe” Holodeck option: Decreased excellent outcome chance and reduced Borg Nanites reward
PoI “Glaciated Planet”: The option using the Borg Cutting Beam now won’t appear before sector 7

UI

The battery resource tile in the HUD now shows the total energy amount stored in batteries, even if these are switched off
Added a visual indicator to the UI to show the influence of the Limited Omega Power tech
Removed – and + for values from tech tree descriptions since the words in the text already describe increase or decrease, which resulted in a double negative
Added a separate analysis bar to the tech tree button in the HUD for science lab item analysis

General

All Ending Scenes now include a pop up for Joe Carey if he made it to the end
Point of Interest “Marginal Planet” Option 2: Increased excellent outcome chances
The grey mode tutorial is not assuming anymore that the player is out of Deuterium
Significantly increased phenomenon “Ion Storm” warp core damage per cycle since its effect barely had impact and could be negated too easily
Leaving an POI event to revisit later no longer increases the autosave counter
“Old friends new enemies”: Increased morale when receiving letters from home

Bug Fixes

Ship Quest “Hunter’s Due”: The quest now accounts for the Heroes death or unavailability and assigns random outcomes properly
“Innocence”: Rivus’ portrait now looks more suited to his condition
“Scorpion”: Kes is no longer visible after she already left the ship during the final dialogue
“Eye of the Needle”: The crafting recipes in the dialogue options are now displaying their correct name
“Prey” and “Old Friends New Enemies”: The dialogue of “Prey” now correctly changes if the player already met Hirogen through the main mission
“Tomorrow’s Yesterday”: The diplomat’s ear technology is no longer automatically researched when unlocking the tech. This won’t affect already unlocked techs of existing save games
“Child’s Play”: Janeway now acknowledges the existence of Nine of Nine during dialogue
“Alliances”: Added missing text so the dialog option “Claim a planet” makes sense
“Loyalties”: Characters now appear and disappear at the correct time during the final bridge dialogue
“Dark Frontier”: Morale reward during dialogue is now correctly displayed
“Uprising”: Fixed an issue where Borg were unable to surrender
“Tribble Trouble”: The research quest can now be completed when attempting it after a failed first attempt
“Cold Fire”: Fixed quest tracker counter for Kes being assigned to Hydro Bay
Fixed being able to navigate to resource HUD (and potentially opening notifications or overview) outside of sector/system/side view
Fixed an issue with homesickness being delayed
After “Game Over”, the last save will now be loaded, regardless if it’s manual or autosave
Fixed an issue with cycle calculation when saving manually during a flight
Fixed an issue with hull repair not working properly with two work teams
Fixed an issue where combat reticules were getting too big
Suppressed calls are now properly cleared when returning to the main menu
Fixed Biolab in certain circumstances removing resources without progressing
A skill check now correctly requires Seven of Nine
Ensured that removing a room only grants resources once
Loading save games now correctly retains progress on some multi-cycle tasks where it didn’t before
Activating batteries now immediately updates the UI
Dialogue text now always only displays the typewriter effect once
Fixed an issue where Voyager was unable to fire upon the Think Tank from certain sides
