Paramount Digital Entertainment confirmed today that Star Trek, licensed by CBS Consumer Products will be coming to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC in summer 2012.

The game, which continues the adventure that director and producer J.J. Abrams envisioned with 2009's Star Trek, boasts a stand alone story filled with action-packed combat as Kirk and Spock must work together to stop a legendary enemy race bent on conquering the galaxy. With an original story and unprecedented co-op experience, the game casts players as Kirk and Spock for the first time ever, and you can see the first teaser image below.

"Star Trek challenges the boundaries of co-op gameplay with a galactic adventure that gamers and fans have never experienced," said Tom Lesinski, President of Paramount Digital Entertainment. "Working closely with the Star Trek filmmaking team throughout development, the game is sure to deliver AAA production values, a wide variety of gameplay and all the action you would expect from the hit franchise. This will be the definitive Star Trek gaming experience."

Star Trek features an original story by BAFTA award winner and God of War writer, Marianne Krawczyk, in collaboration with the writer/producers of the new Star Trek films, Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

The game is under development by acclaimed Ontario-based developers Digital Extremes (Bioshock 2, Unreal Tournament, Dark Sector, The Darkness II), working closely with Bad Robot, K/O Paper Products and Damon Lindelof and published by Paramount Digital Entertainment through a license with CBS Consumer Products. Star Trek will be available in stores 2012.

Paramount Digital Entertainment will be providing a first look at the title to press during the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, June 7-9, 2011.

Found this footage on Shacknews.  No info on when it's coming out.  Presumably it's on the big 3 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) and will be released when the new movie hits.  Reminds me of Mass Effect a bit.  I believe this is the first time in a third person shooter game you can control Spock and Kirk.  check it out:

Eh....I'd be very wary about this game. Movie-licensed games don't tend to be very good.

Same goes for Star Trek games, pretty much. But it seems like it could be something fun.
