Cryptic Studios announced today the closed beta test for Star Trek Online, which will occur later this year. Players can sign up for a chance to participate in the beta.

If you purchased a six-month or lifetime subscription to Champions Online, you’re already accepted to the Star Trek Online beta and won’t need to apply. We’ll have more information about how and when you can join the beta at a later date.

Closed beta registration is an important step in bringing Star Trek Online to the public, said Craig Zinkievich, Executive Producer on Star Trek Online. We are looking toward the launch of our first-of-a-kind MMORPG with anticipation and excitement and we expect Star Trek Online to explode onto the scene, giving fans and gamers a Star Trek experience like no other.
