Perfect World announced today that their latest update has arrived in Star Trek Online: Rise of Discovery. It’s available today on PC, and the release date for the console was also revealed: June 25th, 2019. Star Trek Online continues to focus on the CBS television series, Star Trek: Discovery and players will travel back in time to board the U.S.S.
