<p>Naked Sky's downloadable (and probably UE3-based) game based on the movie has been an enigma wrapped in a riddle, to the point where we still don't know what "D.A.C." stands for. But we do have some <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/24/gdc09-star-trek-dac-details-and-no-we-dont-know-what-it-stan/">new tidbits on the game</a>, thanks to Joystiq. Some of the more interesting things of note:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The game features online mutiplayer (up to 12 in two teams of six), where the Federation does battle against the Romulans.There's a single-player option where you fight alongside and do battle with AI bots, or you can team up on the same side with a buddy for co-op gameplay.</li>
<li>They were extremely cagey about revealing what DAC stood for, and it "may or may not" be tied to plot elements in the film. When asked if we'd know what it was once the game came out, Baronoff said "Not necessarily. There will be clues planted around."</li>
<li>It's a top-down 3D space shooter that doesn't require a lot of hardcore gameplay experience to jump into, but it features a large amount of strategic gameplay that'll please hardcore gamers.</li>
<li>The game is arcade style, and not narrative-based. There are no voices from the movie in the game. According to Hoyt, "I think it's a mistake that most movie games try to emulate the plot of the movie."</li>
<li>The game will be available "near" the launch of the movie on May 8 for XBLA, and the PSN version will follow soon after. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it should be in line with other DLC titles. There will be a free demo available on both platforms.</li>
</ul>
