Star Trek fans, here is something special for you today. Stage 9 is a fan project that aims to remake the sets used in Star Trek The Next Generation in Unreal Engine 4. According to its creators, the ultimate goal of this remake is to allow players to explore the entire Enterprise D from Star Trek The Next Generation in a detailed virtual recreation.
Once the ship is completed, the team will be adding in some subtle easter eggs and create different things to interact with in each room. Furthermore, the LCARS displays will one day allow players to perform various actions in the game by pressing buttons on the displays.
What’s really cool here is that there is a version of this project that you can go ahead and download right now. Not only that, but there is a VR version too that supports both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive VR headsets.
Those interested can download Star Trek The Next Generation Unreal Engine 4 from here, and below you can find the key features of its latest version (as well as some screenshots). Kudos to our reader HAL9000 for informing us!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
