Star Trek - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? has been announced.
The question pack for the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN game features over 600 questions on the original series and a new themed setting.
Set on a Constitution-class starship bridge, selectable avatars include Lt. Uhura, a human cadet, a Vulcan officer and an Orion slave girl, while Phone A Friend offers eight themed characters to choose from.
Gameplay itself will be the same as the show, with lifelines 50:50, Ask The Audience, and Phone A Friend, and the usual series of questions leading to the $1 million prize.
Releasing later this year in Europe, Star Trek - Who Wants to be a Millionaire? will not be available to users in North America, Canada and Mexico.
However, doublesix CEO James Brooksby told Digital Spy that the developer "hopes" to release the expansion in every region soon.
"The WWTBAM game is currently licensed for release outside of North America. However we hope to one day see it released everywhere," he said.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire? was released in November and can be downloaded for 800 Microsoft Points / £6.99 ($10).
