No Star Trek Online for consoles

It appears that Cryptic have ditched plans to bring Star Trek Online to Xbox 360 and PS3.

The news comes hot on the heels that Cryptic have canned work that they had been doing on a console version of Champions Online, their other MMO.

Executive producer at Cryptic, Craig Zinkievich, told Videogamer that they were concentrating on polishing the PC versions before thinking about console versions.

Zinkievich said of Star Trek Online: "It's pretty much in the same boat as the Champions console version right now.

"It's something we can readily do in terms of technology," he added. "We've had it up and running on certain consoles, and had plans and designs in order to take advantage of those platforms. But as it stands right now it's a little difficult to make that final leap on the business side of things. So, currently, just like Champions, the console version of Star Trek Online is on the back burner."
