Star Trek MMO Sold to New Developer

The massively multiplayer online Star Trek game is now under new management - Perpetual Entertainment sold the rights to an unknown developer.
WarCry did not reveal the name of the new steward, but it did learn that while the game’s license and content (such as artwork, one presumes) were transferred, the code wasn’t. So the new STO team is starting from pretty close to scratch. If you were hoping for a 2008 release, it’s time to be disappointed; though at this point none of this is a huge surprise.
We don’t know if the new owners are related to P2, if any of the old team will be moving with the project, or anything else, really. More info and some clarifications are sure to come eventually, though, so sit tight.
The title has been in trouble before - will this save it?
(Thanks, Massively.)

I boldly predict this game will never see the light of day…
If perhaps it ever does it’ll suck
