Star Trek Online will arrive between January and March 2010, Cryptic has told Videogamer.

The upcoming MMORPG combines space combat with on-foot battle, and is getting  positive previews from the press.

Executive producer Craig Zinkievich told Videogamer: "Without giving you the date, which I'm not allowed to give out or else the marketing people will come and smack me in the back of the head, I can tell you that the game will be out the first quarter of 2010."
