The Star Trek Voyager trailer now points to playable content, not a distant promise. Delta Chronicles launched on July 16 as the first DLC for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown. It brings five side missions based on memorable episodes, while the Expansion Pass is now available on PC and consoles. Daedalic’s official announcement confirms the rollout.
Key points
- Delta Chronicles launched for Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown on July 16, 2026.
- The first DLC adds five episode-inspired missions, two heroes, six technologies and four NPC ships.
- The Expansion Pass contains four DLC packs, while three packs remain unreleased.
- Free Patch 1.8 adds seven ship quests and events alongside UI, balance and quality-of-life changes.
Quick answer: Delta Chronicles is available now. It is the first of four DLC packs planned for the Expansion Pass. It includes five missions, two recruitable heroes, six technologies and four NPC ships. The base game is required.
Star Trek Voyager trailer: what does it confirm?
The Star Trek Voyager trailer introduces the Expansion Pass and its first story pack. Delta Chronicles revisits five episodes: Distant Origin, The Omega Directive, Cold Fire, Homestead and Inside Man. The important part is not simple fan service. Each mission keeps the base game’s branching decisions and consequences.
That means players are not just replaying TV plots. They can make different command calls, accept different risks and pursue other outcomes. It is a strong fit for a game built around alternate versions of Voyager’s trip home. Browse the latest gaming news for more fresh releases.
Gameplay shown in the new Star Trek Voyager trailer
Delta Chronicles adds Reginald Barclay in holographic form and Voth professor Forra Gegen. Both are recruitable heroes with their own combat abilities. The package also adds four NPC ships, including a Voth City Ship and a Ferengi Marauder that can become an ally.
Six new technologies widen the strategic toolbox. The DLC still revolves around exploration, ship management, diplomacy and tactical combat. It does not turn Voyager into a twitch-action game, and that restraint is welcome. The show’s best conflicts were rarely solved by firing first.
Every player also receives free Patch 1.8. Daedalic lists seven new ship quests and events, revised technology-tree descriptions, UI work, balance changes and quality-of-life improvements. That makes this more than a paid-content day. It gives existing captains a reason to return even without buying the pass.
Why this expansion format suits Voyager
Compared with the base game, Delta Chronicles appears to lean harder into the idea that made Across the Unknown appealing: famous Voyager dilemmas can produce a different outcome in player hands. Television needed one canonical answer. A strategy game can make the player live with another answer. The comparison has a limit, though. Daedalic has not yet detailed every branch or its long-term campaign impact.
For players, the key question is replay value. Existing owners get a meaningful free update and extra missions. Pass buyers are paying for four DLC packs, but three are still unreleased. Buying now makes sense for committed fans who want the full roadmap. Waiting is sensible for players who want to judge Delta Chronicles before committing to the remaining content.
Platforms, price and the DLC roadmap
Daedalic says the Expansion Pass, Delta Chronicles and Captain’s Collection are available on PC and consoles. Xbox lists the pass for PC and Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation lists it for PS5. The base game is also available on Nintendo Switch 2.
The US Xbox Store lists the Expansion Pass at $29.99. That is a US price, not proof of a French euro price. The store also confirms that the base game is required and that the pass includes four DLC packs. Check the official Xbox listing before purchasing in your own region.
The next packs include more missions, the U.S.S. Equinox as a future playable ship for a new mode, and a new sector with its own storyline. Daedalic also promises a substantial free mode later this year. The roadmap is promising, but dates and rules for those additions are still missing.

Questions still open
- When will the U.S.S. Equinox DLC launch? The answer matters because it is tied to a new mode that has not been explained yet.
- How will the new sector work with existing runs? Its format will determine whether it feels like a separate campaign or a major expansion of the core loop.
- Will Delta Chronicles choices persist beyond their missions? That detail matters for players seeking deeper replay value.
